Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have?
This isn’t signed, but I own the Suhr guitar shown in the video linked below. He starts playing it around 35 seconds into the video. I think Kevin Skaff got a contract with PRS, so he sold the Suhr. Sweet guitar.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?... 
Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out
You might get lucky and it's the 12AU7 preamp tube that appears to be common to both channels.  I would replace it first.

Have you said if it's one channel, or both? Tubes don't always last a long time. It depends on the design of the component.  
Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out
Do you have any extra tubes? I wouldn't run it with a tube missing. I don't know if it would hurt anything.  It looks like the 12AU7 is a preamp tube common to both channels. If you are getting noise in both channels, I would replace it.  If you... 
What has been a favourite moment in Audio?
@lrlacosse It was probably around 1976 that I got my first real stereo. I earned the money by helping my grandfather on the farm and erecting irrigation pivots. An older cousin sold electronics and he let me finance it.  A big Panasonic receiver w...

@buellrider97 That's awesome. I need to go see them again.  It's been a number of years since I've seen them.   On a side note, their music video called Home is really good if you haven't seen it. I know that a Mexican Telecaster isn't real expen...

Are you hearing the noise in both channels? I would guess it's a bad tube, but I'm guessing.

Listening
For serious listening, I'm in the sweet spot.  My exercise room is just off of my main listening area. I spend a couple of hours there every night.  It actually sounds pretty good in that room.   
RCA Interconnect recommendations
I'm using a Graham Slee CuSat50 between my sacd player and my preamp. It sounds excellent. I bought a second CuSat50 and tried it between my amp and preamp. I didn't like it as well as my Black Cat Silverstar 88.  I'm using a Black Cat Silverstar ...
