    You cannot lie @ The Apple Store

    Samsung has a white sticker that changes color if it gets wet. It also shorts something, and disables the phone. If you peel the sticker off, it will usually restore operation. John C.

    Even a cheap POS turntable can please those of us who don't know any better

    Welcome to vinyl. If you decide to go to a grado cart, check if youe TT has AC, or DC motor. Grado is an unshielded cart, and very suceptable to picking up hum. John C.

    Gearheads: Would you recommend a torque wrench?

    I like the Sears Craftman Digitorque. Its easier for a beginner to read than a micrometer type wrench. Also, it goes without saying, NEVER use a torque wrench as a breaker bar. John C.
