What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?

I have two friends that own Fisher 500c receivers. They have auto bias, so no, that's nothing new, but that's not a bad thing. Both units are still working flawlessly and sound pretty good with Klipsch speakers.  
Static electricity affecting sound reproduction. Please help!!
