andrewlucas Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ahh! I had no idea today was a holiday. I didn't deposit my paycheck on Friday because I thought I could do it Monday. Now I only have $150 in my account. Hopefully it charges me still. Ill just have to take the overdraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 They absolutely destroyed their original goal, good for them! andrewlucas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbbrew22 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yeah seriously, triple their original goal. Unfortunately I couldn't fork over the dough for this right now, I'll just have to wait until they go into regular production, oh well. I'm looking forward to seeing how people like it when they ship out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqxmission Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just pulled the trigger and submitted a pledge for the limited edition in green. I've been on the fence since the funding for this started in December and was on the fence until just now. Looking forward to an upgrade from my AT-LP60.. I looked through some threads on the AT-LP60 on this board and the comments I saw pretty much made my decision for me. dutchflowers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yocaseycasey Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm pretty excited about this. I have been putting off buying a new turntable for a long time, and I feel like this is win-win. I win, because I get a decent new turntable for a good price, and they win, because I gave them money. Plus, since it's paid for now, and I won't see it until May, I'll forget about until it comes in the mail in May. Which will be a good day.

yocaseycasey Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Question, do you think the upgrade to the $250 table is worth it?ie. Is the acrylic platter and different cartridge worth the $100 bones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidamnesiac Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 http://gettheorbit.com/ Good for them for getting this in to production and all, but at $279 with an OM5e for the plus model, you might as well just save and get the Debut Carbon, in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus model wouldn't make sense for me either at that price point, with the Carbon roaming around out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 - No anti-skate - Set up doesn't mention tonearm balancing - I like the clear acrylic vs smoked on it - OM-5e... yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yeah that clear acrylic looks sick. But it could show smudges, scratches and fingerprints super easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weinerdog Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'd like to see how the early adopters like them after they get shipped in a few months. But why the comparison to the Carbon, which is 43% higher in price? I guess what I mean is.....for $279, are there better options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're spending about $100 more and getting a significantly better tonearm and cartridge. The cart alone would normally be a $100 upgrade. Not to mention that while the final retail version isn't in anyone's hands yet, all the promos I've seen so far make this table look like a Boyscout craft project somebody made and spray painted in their garage.

jk471993 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I quite like the logo but that black switch is really bugging me. Perhaps they can switch it to silver to match the plate behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 "Dear Kickstarter Limited Edition backers, While Orbit shipping has begun, we are experiencing supplier-related delays with the acrylic platters that are included with the Kickstarter Limited Edition turntable. The short version of the story is that our former supplier not only failed to produce the platter to spec, but was also unable to fix their mistake. Aesthetically, the platters they delivered to us had poorly finished edges and unsightly marks from the manufacturing process. But even more concerning was the fact that these platters were too thin and the spindle hole was too wide. The pictures below show the unacceptable quality of the platters we received. Good platter: http://i.imgur.com/ZmkvCb8.jpg Bad platter: http://i.imgur.com/PSYCw3F.jpg The good news is that we have found a new supplier - they are local so we will be able closely oversee the production process and ensure that there are no further delays. Nevertheless, we realistically expect that it will be another 4 weeks before all of our new acrylic platters are ready to ship. We realize this news comes as a disappointment - nobody is more disappointed and frustrated with this situation than we are. As a sign of our appreciation for your continued patience, we are offering our Kickstarter Limited backers 50% off the forthcoming Orbit Cue Lever, which we plan to begin selling once we are caught up with turntable orders. Here is a look at what we have designed: http://i.imgur.com/cZqgNuG.jpg. This lever will be easy to install and will be compatible with all Orbit turntables. Your discount coupon will be included with your turntable." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinch Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It most definitely is. If you don't have very steady hands, a needle is very easy to damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It most definitely is. If you don't have very steady hands, a needle is very easy to damage. Oh, then I'm in. I have something called "essential tremors" according to the doctors. I'm always shaky. That's why I had to buy the pre built bugle2. It sucks.

David Loyd Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I see on their twitter that people have started receiving them. I'm dying to read or hear a professional review. I was really looking to upgrade my AT LP120 with a project debut carbon until I saw the U Turn was upcoming. Holding out til I start seeing side by side comparisons.
