I recommend U-turn Audio, not only for the quality of their product, but more importantly for the stellar support after purchase.
Not only was it ready to play out of the box, but the sound is fantastic, the player assembled together was beautiful, and the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge was amazing quality which allows me to hear every record clearly
I've purchased two Orbit turntables directly from uturn audio's website and highly recommend them for lots of reasons--most especially, sound quality and exceptional customer service
and if your looking for affordable quality I highly recommend this.
The price is a little hefty and can receive more for less on the U-Turn website as this one does not come with the Ortofon 2M Red, but the quality is worth it

Personally I'd pick this over the Carbon Pro-Ject due to the fact that it's an all American company (design and production) and absolutely outstanding customer service.

I purchased my table directly from U-Turn not Amazon, but I wanted to mention the Awesome Customer Support at U-Turn Audio.

I would highly recommend U-Turn Audio to anyone....a few reasons:1

Not only is it a very nice entry level turn table it is made in the United States, this did have a little to do with why I decided to buy this one but am glad I did because it is a very nice turn table for the money.

I do understand that this company is still fairly new and they do have a good product, but there is still lots of improvements to be had to make this a great product
Sadly, no other product out there has this problem
I'm sure not every orbit arrives defective but to me it was worth the extra $100 to buy from a local dealer and the Pro-Ject is an amazing product
American made excellence and best product support ever when I bought another cartridge.
This table would qualify as a device with better quality manufacture and parts than the consumer stuff you'd see at a Best Buy (ie Audio Technica and those like it).

table has speed up and slow down problems after only two months of minimal use, however.
Regarding this turntable... I bought a less expensive table and was pretty happy with it
Although it is possible to very delicately change the belt from 33 to 45 while the platter is spinning, if you play several 45s in a row, or leave the belt on for the night, the belt is going to fall off when you put it back to 33.
Also the belt is loose and the instructions are very lacking in detail.
The fact that their own website says the belt will lose tension if left on the 45 setting for too long (in my experience "too long" seems to be 30 minutes) is a massive red flag
I think that is a grossly unfair label to place on this turntable...this turntable is not only audiophile quality, easy to use, ready to play out of the box, but very much compares and performs to the manual belt-drive turntables offered by the likes of Music Hall, Project, Thorens, and rivals the classic belt drive audiophile turntables of the past, including a Sansui model my father still has to this day
The belt however, does fall off occasionally, but it is extremely easy to place back on and get going
