Bottom line, it's easy to recommend the Orbit turntable.

I wanted to like the Orbit as they're made in

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

But if you're just getting into vinyl or don't have a lot of money to drop, the $179 Orbit is terrific and will make you very happy

I love my Orbit
