"Buzz" Coming Through Speakers
You may try lifting all your cables off the floor, making sure no cables are touching one another, and crossing cables at a 90 degree angle -- not parallel.

Most overrated audio manufacturers?
It is hard to call low-cost gear overrated, IMO. Nevertheless, there are a couple of names that come to mind here: ASI cables and Grover Huffman cables. Too much hoopla for too little performance. It is easier to call high-priced gear overrated. A...

Misternice,You're welcome. I can think of 3 low-cost things you might want to try.1. Try making your own HFTs. Placement is crucial.2. Try putting Tupperware-style containers filled with sand under components.3. Try putting copper sleeves over IEC...

Schubert,If you believe in the afterlife then I don't think death will solve this problem. 
How Things Change
Schubert,I agree, one day at a time is best. When we were youngsters my father used to say "Make haste slowly". Dad was right. Of course, it is in our nature to look ahead and plan and try to push the river. But if you get too far ahead of yoursel... 
How Things Change
Schubert,You make an interesting observation. If you are talking about audio systems, then striving for improvement is very important if you are interested in getting closer to the music. But, at some point, most people reach a point where there a... 
SR XOT Transducer ?
Ozzy,I understand now. I wonder if this will make any difference to the SQ.

Ptss,I am all for measuring. The more the better. But there is more to audio than science.
