I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem?
Hi BB, Sorry for not better clarifying.  The volume of the hum increases as I increase the volume knob, i.e., turn it clockwise, even if the selector knob is set to "mute". if I get to about 2 o'clock, the hum is easily audible from across the ro...

@jwillox - Thanks!  I don't have cable, though, so that's not the issue :-(  
I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem?
So, I reconnected the system to the wall outlet; buzz/hum continues, even with nothing attached to the inputs of the preamp. What's even weirder, the hum/buzz changes as I turn the volume knob, even when the input selector is set to "mute", so the...

@davidrolon: Interesting. My WiFi router is in another room, so that shouldn't be an issue, but I do have a fiber-to-ethernet converter sitting right behind the system. Could that be doing something? Thanks, Chris  
I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem?
Thanks all, for the additional suggestions. @pennfootball71: I don't think it should be DC, because the Puritan has a DC blocker and because I'm running the system off a battery and pure sinew wave inverter. I have an old SS preamp that I can try,...

Thank you all for your suggestions. So, I tried leaving everything connected as-is with the battery and inverter powering the Puritan, into which all components are plugged, as I'd really like to get this to work), but I powered on only the power...

Hi Erik, Thanks; I had also thought it might be the USB, so I checked on the BelCanto - it does, in fact, include galvanic isolation. What do you mean by "pull the power out of your "clean" power section"? Thanks, Chris

Cary Audio, obviously, not Cary Audi, which would be a very different skillset 🙃

Thanks czarivey, Given Dennis' longtime success while he owned and ran Cary Audi and designed everything they made and sold amps, I'm sure he knows how to design and build a tube component without any issue.  At least I would certainly hope so. ...

The Music Room
I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with TMR.  I have purchased 5 items from them, each of which was exactly as described, and I sold my tube amplifier to them. One thing to keep in mind is that, if you can happen to find something they h... 
worth upgrading BelCanto REFLink?
Hi rossb, Thanks so much for your post! What types of improvements do you note with the Matrix (with LPS) over the Bel Canto? Thanks, Chris  
worth upgrading BelCanto REFLink?
Thanks for your response! Alas, my hands are tied with respect to using the MacMini, as I use Theoretica Physics BACCH4Mac cross-channel cancellation software/filtering to achieve "true" 3D sound, and this requires the player/streamer be a Mac de...

Has anyone tried the QSA USB adapters? If so, what were your impressions?  
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
I would like to echo the many positive experiences others have described with the SDFB. I installed one in my Dennis Had Inspire LP-2 preamp, and the change was truly jaw-dropping. The preamp was very quiet before, now it is absolutely silent - I ...
