GWSmith Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hello my vinyl loving friends! Been a while, but I was very excited today, as I UNboxed a brand new turntable this morning. Took 3 weeks from order to delivery. This is a U-Turn Orbit custom. In white, with all the options except built in photo stage, cue lever, Ortofon 'blue' cart and solid acrylic platter in place according to the order. Just gave it the acid test with the Telarc re-issue on 200 gram. vinyl with the infamous cannon 'volley'! Did it pass? NO, this was setup at the factory at 1.7 grams like my Rega, and would not track through the blasts, maybe three?, but the last few are the loudest with the most dynamic range possible on vinyl. The Rega gets through all EXCEPT the very last one, and even that gets EJECTED from the groove. Paul, I would LOVE to see how your short linear tracking arm would handle those super grooves? Enjoying Steely Dan now - Gaucho, sounding very nice, happy with this new table so far, and, it was made in a little factory only about 80 miles from my home here in MA. I'll be returning again in a bit, got more records to spin and enjoy 🍷 ....cheers! Here is the shot of the Telarc LP with inner booklet on the Rega.... The WARNING on the booklet (also on the outside box cover) ..........which none of mine can 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 ....I started with 'The Midnight' (clear red) which is my latest LP purchase from the artist's webpage, I played it once before, but it was a good first listen with the new table, sounded fine to my ears 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Thanks for the compliments everyone, too funny, the table was still less expensive then the Exact 2 cartridge on the Rega!, I have not made any comparisons just yet, however, there is a little down side to the Rega that no one seems to talk about that I have learned to ignore. (besides the wobble from the cheap subplatter which I quickly disgarded and upgraded). I find that listening to fine orchestral recordings that go down to a whisper and then the full dynamic capabilities (where most of our studio recordings reside), the quiet passages can be VERY revealing to noises. The motor on the Rega can be heard IN the cartridge when you are in the last track and even more so in the 'dead wax' area when the cart head is directly over the motor! Here, the U-Turn doesn't suffer with an outside belt drive and the motor in the far corner well isolated. Just my observations so far. And the platter? No up and down wobble detected, amazing! Small, young company got certain things figured out and correct the first time . I am pretty happy with the purchase thus far. Ok, back to the live concert from Boston. Back in a bit with Julie 🍷 OH, Paul, I will look around for that recording for you! They made only 1000 in 2015 and my buddy and I bought our copies as soon as they became available. It was a very special happening/pressing with Telarc. and the late, great, Michael Bishop/Jack Renner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Ok, back with a cool photo. A sync play going on right now, me in MA, and another friend on the forum in Wyoming. You can see the signatures on the front cover. BB in front of his last name, and BB on TOP= my copy. Here's his VPI in a brand new listening space. ..another view of mine... well friends, once this disc gets flipped and concluded, I will be heading off to the rack, close to midnight in my time zone. Been fun, be back soon! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
