I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem?
Longshot reply here. Had persistent buzz/hum. Called Steve at Decware. Thought it might be the amp. I started listing the numerous components in the system. He told me to shut up. He asked if there was a WiFi router near the components. I said yes...

Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear
Couple of fun facts before this falls apart:  1. Still made in the USA. You can make an appointment to tour the factory in Binghamton, NY. Not sure, but I think tubes are still Russian. 2. They own Sonus Faber & Sumiko 3. They are owned by ... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
Had tidal right when it came out...loved it. Then I started getting error messages regarding multiple users. Tried to debug it. Dumped tidal, went to qobuz. Have not looked back, and that was probably 3 years ago. I have 2k+ CDs ripped to flac. Qo... 
Speaker Hum
Certainly one of the more frustrating situations....In my case, after a lot of trial and error, my problem went away after I realized it was the wifi router. Moved it further away and problem disappeared for good.

Looking for a preamp with XLR connections
Mola Mola Makua. Upper end of your range. End game component. Maybe find one pre-owned. There was one here on agon that got snapped up. Pretty much as good as it gets without requiring a second mortgage to obtain.  
Bricasti M5 or Lumin U1 Mini or ?
@aberyclark the acquisition process was stellar (more about that in my post from 11/2/21). Could have not asked for a smoother transaction and excellent price. The installation process was all of a few minutes. Plugged in, hooked it up, turned it ...

Is this a scam?
Classic scam. Whenever the words "freight forwarder" shows up, you know it is the classic stolen credit card scam. Buyer uses stolen credit card, you send item, actual credit card owner disputes charge, money gets reversed, you’re out the item. It... 
Speakers for string Quartets
Stradivarius.....jk... Big string quartet fan here, and I love my Harbeth P3 ESR XD's in my desktop setup. I bet their bigger brothers would sound terrific in your large room. I also love a ton of jazz and the Harbeth's really capture the intimacy...
