Super fret buzz on one fret, one string.

So I switched strings, same gauge but I switched from the super slinkies to the m-steel 9s. Everything is checking out fine with the exception of having severe fret buzz on the 15th fret of the A string. I'm learning about setups and the like but I would probably just call myself a novice at this point. I checked the relief and measured the string height as recommended by the music man petrucci setup guide and it all checks out. Can anyone give me any advice?

Thanks so much.
 
Normally that's a sign to raise your saddle height, assuming you have enough relief in the neck (and you would, if you don't have any buzzing down lower).
