    I've got an Aragon 2002 downstream from an NAD 1700 and a schiit DAC, all RCA connections. Suddenly, with no prompting and with the preamp off, the speakers start making loud ungodly grounding sounds (like when you bump the tip of an interconnect with your finger).

When I came to pick it up the guy plugged it in and played a disc and it sounded great, I tried most of the buttons (FF, Rew, Track skip, etc) which worked fine. Then when I brought it home it worked fine for about 10-15 minutes, which...
