Woburn, Massachusetts' U-Turn Audio launched their Orbit line of turntables after a successful Kickstarter campaign in early 2013. They delivered on their production promise with a true alternative to mass-produced plastic turntables and pricey imported audiophile turntables. With an attention to detail and manufacturing, U-Turn Audio has designed a simplified, high performance turntable at an affordable price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTECH SPECS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehardwood base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eacylic platter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecue lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edecoupled motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elow noise AC synchronous motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16.75 x 12.5 x 4.25\" \/ 425 x 317 x 107mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11.5 lbs \/ 5.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCOMES WITH\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrtofon 2M Red cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edust cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efelt mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eremovable RCA cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"U-Turn Audio","offers":[{"title":"Maple","offer_id":41321907272,"sku":"tr-425","price":429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/uturn-orbitspecial-maple.jpg?v=1759269856","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/u-turn-audio-orbit-special-turntable-2m-red-maple","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
