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 recommend U-turn Audio, not only for the quality of their product, but more importantly for the stellar support after purchase.
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
and if your looking for affordable quality I highly recommend this.
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

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'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
Sadly, no other product out there has this problem
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
American made excellence and best product support ever when I bought another cartridge.
Simply put, U-turn makes one of the best products out there.
table has speed up and slow down problems after only two months of minimal use, however.

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).
Regarding this turntable... I bought a less expensive table and was pretty happy with it
U-Turn will send you a free spare belt, but this will still leave you wondering why in 2017 it's so hard to make a quartz circuit to regulate the speed
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
A fine turntable for the most part, but the design of the belt system is incredibly poor and belts lose tension and fall off very soon, especially if you switch speeds with any frequency
Also the belt is loose and the instructions are very lacking in detail.
The belt however, does fall off occasionally, but it is extremely easy to place back on and get going
