Faint buzz in speakers
I had a buzz or ground hum years ago, and after trouble shooting with the dealer ended up installing some gadget between ac cord and wall outlet that fixed it.  It was called 'Magic' something. A search found this: https://ifi-audio.com/products... 
Faint buzz in speakers
Type and brand of amp?  
Speaker cables with good timbre
To me you have exactly described Kubala Sosna Realization (or even Elation). I had a full loom of Audience SX 24 and thought they were amazing until my dealer swapped in a pair of Elation cables.  Both were resolving on the high end, but the K-S ... 
Roon and Sonos
Maybe it is how their old equipment works vs new.  I have two Era 300 and the new soundbar, and my app is rocksolid.  
Reliability - what’s your experience been?
Brands that have failed me: Classe Audio - the stuff made in China not Canada. SSP - 800 (twice). P S Audio - happened quite quickly BHK pre amp buzzing  
My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf
Vivid K45 or smaller in pearl white (stock color) or any color you want for a small price to make your lady happy!  
PS Audio BHK signature preamp
Hello @signaforce , Without commenting on the rest of your system, I can comment about my experiences with the BHK pre from PS Audio.  In my system, it was noisy. I really wanted to get a tube pre with SS amps, but I could not get past the noise. ... 
Roon and Sonos
Hi @bfleetwood , I understand your pain.  I originally had four Roon zones in my house, but have easily discerned that running  multiple Roon zones affects sound quality.  I do get that you are using as background.  Sonos just grabs its own from t... 
how come im having such a hard time
are you using optical (toslink) or HDMI ARC from TV to Arcam? Have you enabled correct sound output on the Sony TV? Have you assigned the proper audio input (ie hdmi or optical (toslink) to the input you are using on the Arcam? Just a few thoug... 
Soulnote D-3 I think a Switch Has Flipped.
Hello @ja_kub_sz ,  after a lot of reading about Soulnote, I found a great deal on a barely used A2 Integrated amp for my vacation home.  It sounds sweet and sublime!  But I do agree on some 'different features'.  Most integrateds I have seen swit... 
Parasound vs classe
Hi  @digitaljoseph, close but not exactly. I had classe CA-2300 stereo amp for a while.  I had a pair of JC-1+s in on trial.  Neither compared to the Audionet Max amps that I bought.  Yes they were more, but much better:  clearer, more resolving, ... 
Home network router question
Hi @mpomerantz ,  I took a quick look at Plume.  It seems to me it is a form of Internet over power lines or EoP.  While this is better than wifi, I don't think it is as good as quality ethernet cables running from your router directly.  I believe... 
Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit
Hi @jimbones ,  I agree with avoiding tubes..if you can get sweet sound.  For me, at any of their price points, it  is Audionet.. I started with the Pre G1 and it opened my eyes to how a good preamp could sound.  Then the Pre G2 and now ultimately... 
Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui
Hey @jsalerno277 , congrats again! I actually liked the sound of Conductor with Tambaqui the best vs Roon.  But I also really like roon... You have a great system!  Ken  
D amps
Hello @bernal737 ,  I had Mola Mola Kaluga amps with my N802's, also with the MM Makua preamp.  they were amazing in many ways, with great bass control and dynamics.  But they lacked the sublty, resolution, sparkle, air and imaging of  great class...
