Does anyone own a U-Turn Orbit Turntable with built-in Pre-Amp? Is it a pain to manually move the belt? Do I need anything other than a receiver?

Thanks for any info you can provide
Alright, alright, alright!

    Don't own it, but have heard nothing but good things about it. Apparently a great entry level table.

    I have one, I put all the upgrades on it and my own cartridge/needle.

    Sounds great to me, but I always believe with stuff like this, you can spend the money and if your speakers suck, or your records are scratched it won't matter much, but I really like it as far as TT go.

    I've had it for two years and love it. Have to upgrade to the acrylic platter at some point. Using the grado black cartridge and kanto yumi speakers.

    I got one for christmas and it was immediately apparent that this is the first "real" turntable I've owned.
