Last Friday night, during an impromptu party, a cute woman from Romania turned my amp up all the way and destroyed my trusty old Infinities that I'd had for 17 years. I am now in the position of needing to buy speakers and I need to be time-efficient about doing so (I may well fix the Infinities but that will take some time). I went to two local stores and frankly they were a drag. The switching devices didn't work, and the salespeople were oriented towards television. So I'm turning to here for any sort of advice. Here is some data in case it helps:

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?

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.

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.

He has all the great audio / video but I think he is looking for the lastest greatest ooh ahh stuff.

A couple came to mind I like AppleTV, Sonos...

Anyone else have some ideas? Thanks
