this turntable built a strong reputation after it raised two hundred thirty three thousand dollars on Kickstarter back in 2014 and after putting it to the test I'm a believer too I'm Justin from C net this is a first look at the u-turn orbit basic turntable so the u-turn in orbit is a well-built turntable with basic features that work really well and that's how you turn keeps the price down there's no extra stuff on here like a quartz lock or auto return or USB transfers it's a belt drive turntable which means it relies on this elastic belt that connects the motor to the platter which rotates the record it's kind of hard to believe that the orbit is u-turns first turntable to the whole system is really well-thought-out and it's easy to set up it comes with a needle already installed the tone arm is balanced and the tracking force is already calibrated so you don't have to mess with any of that I should say though that you might not be a big fan of the manual belt adjustment if you often switch between listening to 33 and 45 rpm records you have to change the position of the belt on this pulley every time so that might be a hassle aside from that the orbit basic is a no-brainer recommendation both for vinyl beginners and experts just be sure to check out the turntable builder app online before you buy that's where you can add upgrades and choose between five custom colors you can check out my full review on CNET for a lot more details on this including product comparisons and sound quality tests but that's going to do it for this video you just took a first look at the u-turn orbit basic turntable thanks for watching
