It's just you. You might not have any buzz, but you probably don't have a nice, clear, ringing string either. What you seem to have is either too straight (flat) of a fretboard or nut slots which are cut too deep. Check to see that your neck is slightly concave (bowed down in the middle.) If you fret it at the first fret and the fret where the mandolin joins the body, there should be a little space under the 7th fret - .010" or less. If there isn't you are likely to get a buzz.
