I picked up my 3124 in June of '05 and couldn't have been happier. The thing sounds great. A little over a month ago I noticed that the #1 pre had a buzz. I assumed it was my soldering job on my newly installed wall fixture. Nope. I unplugged everything from the thing and the buzz was the same. I plugged it into a differnt converter channel, same buzz. All three of the other pres are fine and sound identical. I called Mercenary, they were great. Got me an RA number and I mailed it off to API. Ray, over at API, said he wasn't hearing it. I'm inclined to believe him. He tried to get it to buzz over a couple of days and nothing. So when I got it back I tested it and I didn't hear it either. Ok, great, right? A couple of days ago, guess what? Its back! Is there anything I might be missing here? Could it be something on my end or is it probably just some come and go problem with the pre?
