Buzzing sound from Peachtree Nova 150 - anybody else had similar experience?

My problem with the Rogue RP-1 is that im not excited about it. I know i need to listen. The inside looks quite bare compsred to others. Am I really getting a Schiit Freya level amp for 2 1/2 times the cost?  
How important is component “aesthetics” to you?
I love the look of both...out of my budget :(

I agree. Thats why my wife love the look of my Zu Omen Defs in cherry. The wife hates speaker grills. The Zu’s, imo, look like classic pieces of furniture.

Will preamp manufacturers tell you if the model is phase inverse?
Do some tube integrated amps need the terminals reversed as well?

So I went to the local dealer. Of course closed. The web says they would be open. Frustrating. This is why I prefer to order online.

The Primalunas are built so nice. Im hoping the local store has one. I really wish I could swing a new Dialogue Premium. The used one ( Dialogue)  listed here on AG is tempting

I'm really wanting to purchase a new Prologue Premium from Primaluna now. Unfortunately, Upscale Audio cannot sell to be due to a dealer within 100 miles. I'm going to check the place out this weekend. Nothing more disappointing that a store adver... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
