    To anyone reading this for advice, I would say to make your goal feeling better and getting stronger. Much more motivation and a lot harder to give up when you don't gain right away. Also, focus on improving instead of a seemingly unattainable end goal.

    Like I said, Garmin makes great running watches that will track routes and distance and even give you splits. The calories are determined by the distance/time/weight so you could technically calculate it with a stopwatch but a Garmin will do that for you. Depending on how serious she is you can get her a watch + heart rate monitor to give her all sorts of stats and information and it can help her stay in fat burning range or anarobic range etc.

    Garmin. I have a used one which you obviously can't get her for Christmas but if she needs someone to go running with, lemme know
    I'm single as always so I'll use the money to make a nice dinner for my close friends and have everyone over.

    I prefer MoFi over HH if we're going to talk about pressing quality.

    In the U-Turn Audio thread on Audiokarma.com, the father of one of the inventors just posted this ....
    --
    I happen to be the father of Rob (Bob) Hertig, main inventor of the Orbit U-Turn TT and am very close to his years of work on this product. He and his two friends who founded the company are musicians... in fact Rob and Ben (Berklee College of Music) wrote and played their own music on the streets of Harvard Square in Boston during summers for spending money and to help pay for college. Rob has been a vinyl fanatic since he was in his early teens. He had a lot of material to choose from since I have about ~750 records, some old classical '78's from the '30's and '40's but most collected in the '60's and '70's. At 18 he started a "Classic Vinyl" website to sell used vinyl records online...
    Regardless, I have followed this tread out of interest and to learn more about what the folks on this site feel the market needs are. Like Rob, I am convinced that there is a place for a low-cost ($150) TT, by necessity minus a lot of "frills" and minus the cheap ceramic cartridges that damage vinyl. For $150 you can't have everthing so Rob has 90%+ focused on the sound quality.
    Rob earned his BSME from Northeaster University after a few years at the University of Illinoiis, and his team received some starter funds from NE. He also was donated an oscilloscope from Northeaster which he puts to good use, along with the "ears" of his musically-talented friends, to optimize the Orbit's performance. For the U-Turn team it is all about the quality of the sound. No comproimizes within a $150 TT budget.
    Rob has a Rega RP3 which he uses for side-by-side comparison and his objective is to get sound performance, minimizing bells and whisles as necessary, comparable to the $1,000 Rega RP3. Wow and flutter, rumble, etc. measurable performance parameters should be equlivent of course... but most importantly digging out those first, second and third-order harmonics that CD's lack and makes vinyl records sound so rich and full.
    I think he has now accomplished that task and is going to initiate his kickstarter program in early December. The first Orbit version won't have a an auto-cuing leaver but a head-mounted finger lift with which to place the needle (I have auto-cuing on my high-end TT and rarely use it, but that is a matter of a steady hand and a little bit of technique), no USB ports, no built in pre-amp (yet... I am trying to talk him into a built-in tube pre-amp as an option but it will be a bit pricey), etc... but the Qrbit will be very reliable and will sound awesome. I believe Orbit customers will be plesantly surprised to find the Orbit produces an audiophile quality sound at a fraction of the cost of a high-end TT.
    Sound quality, simplicity and functionality is all Rob has focused on since inventing his design. The Orbit may look like just another TT but a lot of "Apple" thinking went into the product asthetics.
    BTW... this is not intnded in any way as a commercial by myself for Rob and his team. I am just an old Mechanical Engineer and I know of only one way to tell it... like it is. I just thought I could address some of the questions I have seen floating around this forum.
