Today I talk about the new and improved Orbit Special turntable from U-Turn audio. Assembled and set up right here in the USA the Orbit Special Gen 2 table is remarkably good for the $629 that it costs. The most simple setup I have experienced when it comes to a turntable had me up and running out of the box within 10 minutes.
It includes an Ortofon Red cartridge, Pluto 2 Pre Amp, Electronic Speed Control and improved function. The new Magnesium arm is quite nice as well. This table earns the #1 recommendation in the under $1k category for turntables.
When it comes to listening to music, many prefer the vibe and experience...the ritual of vinyl records. While there are tables out there that cost as much as a house, this one from U Turn is meant to be an affordable but high quality way to spin your records. This is legit player and a step above the $300-$500 tables often found out there today. I LOVE this table!

So good to see well made, American made TT's priced so reasonably ! Well done U-TURN !
I am so happy you pinned this against the Fluance RT85. I am VERY attracted to the U-Turn but the Fluance has auto-stop and the Ortofone 2M Blue. I almost went with the Fluance RT85 but I've decided to pull the trigger on the U-Turn! Thanks for a great down-to-earth review!
Will you try the U-turn Theory turntable for us?
Excellent review. With all the love that vinyl has been getting lately, turntables may be the way into stereo for lots of folks these days. Nice for newbies that the phono preamp works well.
Very true!
This new Orbit, especially with the new arm, is probably very close to the Rega P2 I have. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the two using the same cartridge on each.
I have to say the Orbit Gen 2 is a much better table than I expected it to be. It's as good or better than most in this price range. The simplicity is nice, no offensive noises, no issues, clean and sounds great. The P2 is also a good table and I think it comes down to personal pref. There is no right or wrong, go with the heart.
Thank you
It's actually gen 3. Gen 1 was a kickstarted as a unipivot design tonearm. Gen 2 used a gimbal design for the tonearm.
What about auto lift at end of play? The Flounce 85 has that feature.
The Fluence RT 85 does not have auto lift at the end of play it turns off the platter motor which is pretty convenient, but it’s not with auto lift.
Doesn't have that. Some will want that feature. Most tables today, I'd say 90% of them do not have an auto stop or lift. It's a rarity indeed.
Still have old Technics automatic 1600mk2 & got lucky getting a Technics M1A
I can hardly wait for European audiophiles to take notice of U-Turn Audio turntables.
