There’s only one way to describe this throwback turntable: as handsome as they come. Crafted from sustainably sourced walnut with a clear acrylic plate, the Orbit hovers somewhere between the modern world and old-school cool. Then there’s the sound, which—with the built-in preamp—is what we’d consider to be living-room-dance-parties loud. Just add records (and lots of them).
