Interconnect conundrum
if you distribute cables such as Brand per Channel and your preamp has 'mono' switch and balance, you can actually A/B them 
Your thoughts please
I had plastic screw-downs on my Sunfire SRA, but figured that base under them is metal and they're simply for color purposes. I removed them leaving only the metal caps which I colored with permanent marker and if I ever need to tighten stronger t... 
Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000
Monitor speaker such as Totem Model 1 is great as full range for small rooms and does not require large power amp. 
Your thoughts please
Simple math:Wires connect to Spades or Bananas either crimped or soldered and than last connect to binding posts.If no spades or bananas Wires connect to binding posts Directly with no additional crimping or soldering.... Could argue with anything...

Blown Woofers in Matrix 802 S3
I bet let's say quite a-bit that if you swap your speakers, you'll get another lower woofer blown(don't have to do that for test tho) and the problem is with amp's right channel draining DC onto speaker. Don't swap your woofers -- no point. 
is it qood idea to use an Equalizer with amp
if most of your recordings are bad. 
Joule-electra LA-150 Mk 2 dead
You should know that there are lots of preamps that don't have same reliability... Several models of Rogue, AudioResearch and certainly VTL(champ) may have more complications after the tube's blown 
Burn in Capacitor phenomena
Geoffkait: All caps are apparently microphonic. That's why those tiny little 3 mm (contrained layer) VTS dots from Marigo when stuck onto the tops of all caps improve the sound. ...but when they go bad they're REALLY microphonic 
Burn in Capacitor phenomena
Agree with Paulsax. They become microphonic when they are about to die.Had to replace many in my 30 years old preamp. 
Concert suggestion
I've been for quite a while fan of Anjelique Kidjo and she's somewhat similar and as pretty. 
Burn in Capacitor phenomena
During startup of this rig I noticed as the electric pulses of music pass through the capacitors they vibrate. That is you can hear the capacitors playing music.I've never seen vibrating capacitors and never heard them play music too.
