New York Audio Show 2019
@OP, I agree the Qln speakers were very nice, but I felt they were being held back either by cabling or equipment. I would like to listen to them in a better room and with different equipment. Funny, but when I looked at the logo, I thought it was... 
Brave man, McGowan...
I listened to a pair of Vandy VLR's powered by the Belles integrated using a Bluesound Node as source.At first the VLR's were using a lower grade AQ cable (GO-4). When we switched to the William Tell. It was quite obvious that the Vandy's were per...

LauferTeknik had a great system, albeit at a price more than the average system, but in comparison to the $90K Sound By Singer room, I would buy Sam's it in a heartbeat.When I listened to the other streamed systems, I have to say The Memory Player... 
Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1
I was with Peter (CTsooner) at Audioconnection when we had an audition of the GC1.I can attest to a deeper, more nuanced reproduction. Very subtle information became more apparent. I found it hard to believe that such a non-active component could ...

I agree with @hgeifman ,Ayre has great customer service, and I am surprised your dealer is no help either.Call Ayre directly and mention that thread on buzzing. If anything, I would send the unit in to be tested.Bob

@All,I was with ctsooner when we auditioned the cables. He is spot on.AQ has some serious cables coming out.Bob

@earthtones, Oh, that was your LP? I loved it. Who was the soloist and orchestra?Bob

I agree Peter, the Kento's were very good. I don't know who set up the speakers, but I think the subs were a bit on the 'heavy' side. I also concur with the paint job on those speakers. That red was very nice.Can we speak about those William Tell ... 
Bulding Cabinets, Binding Posts, and Speaker Wire ???
If I were to undertake building my speakers, I would brush up on soldering. It isn't hard, but takes a little time to get it right.  Once you get it, you have a skill that can lead you to other projects in audio.Heck, you'll be able to repair thin... 
Townshend Seismic Isolation Podium
I bought the Podiums for my Treo's, but the outrigger feet didn't fit in the area my speakers reside.So, I put my Ayre KX-R preamp on it.It definitely cleaned up the sound. Everything sounded cleaner, and more articulated.I went and bought the Pod... 
Schitt Yggdrasil Vs. Bluenode 2i (Shock!)
I installed the Thunder Power cable on my DAC, as my dealer John Rutan believes it is the best component to add to first.I have to say he is correct.I also use them on my amps, as well.B
