What's unique about the brand

U-Turn Audio handcrafts turntables in Massachusetts using locally sourced parts, with their flagship Orbit Theory featuring a custom-designed magnesium tonearm that took three years to develop. Their turntables stand out for their dual-speed motor that adjusts record speed 30,000 times per second, while maintaining competitive prices by focusing on essential components rather than unnecessary features.
