Tin, you have any recommendations for increasing reception/avoiding emi [L.E.D] interferences for something that relies on a micro usb that uses the micro usb as a power source and antenna to recieve FM signal?
I've tried shielding the cord to route it away from the interference but not successful.
I just picked up a used SL-1200 MK5 but it didn't come with a head shell or cartridge. I'd like to get a decent setup for this turntable.
Can you recommend some parts for me?
This will cost you a bit and it will take 20-30 hours of listening time for it to really come into it's own, but this is one of the best cartridges for the money.

I ended up splurging a bit and went for the MP-200H.
Tin, I am looking to set up a nice home stereo. Don't want to spend McIntosh money, but don't want a Best Buy Sony setup either (got that in the garage). Not for watching movies, just for music, mostly CD's and records. Setting up in a 20 x 20 upstairs room as just a hang out/kick back room (no TV in the room). I wouldn't mind something I could send stuff from my phone or computer to via Bluetooth but not a deal breaker if it can't. Needs to sound good at any level and be LOUD and CLEAR.
Suggestions? Especially on speakers and amplification. Tuner not even necessary at this point (may add later). I have a CD and record player I could use for now, just looking to get the core components together - preamp, amp, and speakers. I keep looking at Magnepan speakers, but I am not sold on them. Something in that sound quality range though. New or used is fine too as long as I can get it from a reputable source.
Thank you.

Magnepans are awesome, but to me they fall short in the bass department. Electrostatic speakers typically don't do bass very good unless the panels are huge, but everything else they do great. A good brand of electrostatic speakers that does provide good bass are the Martin Logans. The key with the Martin Logans is they have a powered woofer to augment the electrostatic panels, so you get the full range of sound. If you want 'stats, you will need a beefy amplifier, something 200WPC or more and stable at low resistance, like 1 ohm or 2 ohms. Emotiva makes very nice units that don't break the bank, and they have a fantastic home audition period. If you aren't happy, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. The Martin Logan ElectroMotion ESLs run ~$2500 per pair new, but you might be able to find them used for half of that. I saw a pair at Alma's HiFi on Woodward last year for $1400 and almost went home with them.

Those Martin Logans might be the ticket. Thank you!

someone swapped the mid for a horn and made a crossover. they just kind of need to be put back together. $100
