Static noise on Pro-ject Perspective turntable

Hello!
I have a Pro-ject Perspective turntable. I am very new to vinyl. There seems to be a big static electricity problem. Sometimes it starts to crackle while playing. If I then lift the lid it makes big noises. When I have stopped the turntable, even removing the lp from the platter causes lots of crackling through the speakers (I am using an MC cartridge). How do I solve this problem?

Best Pre under 400 (used)

Forums

I was wondering what you all think are the best Preamps under 400$ (Ebay used). I was looking at these
Audio Experiance Symphonies
Cary AE-3
(Some of the) Meixcing Ming Da (Products) (If I can Afford)
Dared SL-2000A
Audio note M-Zero
Soundstage Vacuum (One or Two) class a tube preamp
Promethius TVC

Musical Tastes - Mainly Jazz /Rock. (Not alot of output required. Would be nice) (Im also thinking about BI amping, so 2 outputs would be nice)

Please respond with suggestions or other pre's.

Repairs anyone?

Hello everyone.

My uncle was an audiophile from way back. Mostly reel to reel stuff. In his arsenal of equipment he had a Pheobe Servo Loop Preamp with a matching Son Of Ampzilla. Both by The Great American Audio Company.

The Preamp is the broken one. The balance is screwy. It needs to be repaired. It would be great to hear these 2 together. I have never heard them but would love to.

So, does anyone know of any where that would repair something like this? My aunt is willing to send it off if need be.

Not that I had any idea what Sigur Ros' "Hoppipolla" was about (actually, I never know what any Sigur Ros song is about), but this video wouldn't have even made the top 20 possibilities.
