are some Floyd nuts a little "buzzy" on the high E string?

I've got 5 with Floyd:  The SS (1) sounds like the nut is cut just a hair too low, even though it does not appear to be too low.  I suppose I should just buy another nut to try on that guitar.  I did try sanding down the nut a bit 'in front' of the nut, but that didn't seem to help, I do have a dremmel...

Underneath the Floyd locking nut is a plastic shim that is providing spacing, if you have any copper tape, like for cavity shielding, you can play with the heights very easily using this, if it's only on the high e try putting on 1/3 coverage on the high E side of the spacer one layer, if that doesn't do it try two layers, very very easy and of course reversible

Check the string bar. The strings should lie flat in each channel, from back to front. The strings should not pitch flat or sharp when the locks are wrenched down.
