U-Turn Audio
I remember reading about this guys when they made their kick starter account earlier this year and it looks like they going full scal now. Looks like a sweet table for a great price!

Re: U-Turn Audio
I really need a quality turntable so this looks perfect.
I was wondering why the basic model is $100 cheaper than the others. Is the cartridge and acrylic platter that much more costly?

Re: U-Turn Audio
An acrylic platter can easily be an additional $100, depending on the brand you are dealing with. So I think that's reasonable.AJ123 wrote:I really need a quality turntable so this looks perfect.

I picked one up during the kick starter campaign. I went with the upgraded model as well. It also has a better cartridge to go along with that acrylic platter. They are supposed to start shipping this month.

Re: U-Turn Audio
Not yet. Got an email last week saying they had a problem with the acrylic platter not being manufactured correctly. They expected this to delay shipping by four weeks. I was supposed to have this by may, then July, then August, and now possibly October.

They have not finished delivering to their kickstarter backers. Hopefully I get mine within the month of November.
