Speakers themselves do not make any noise. You did not mention what source/input you were using. The phono input is always noisier than the line input as it needs more amplification.
Faint speaker hiss
Was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me out. I recently
acquired a new naim integrated (XS2) to pair with my Harbeth p3esr. I
am using straightwire speaker cables which I've had for years. I
noticed when I plugged everything in that the speakers have the ever so
slightest hiss coming from them. I cannot hear it unless I get extremely
close to to tweeter and te sound becomes non-existent once music starts
playing. I have had the amp for about a week now and have
kept it on 24/7. Does anyone know where the small hiss could be coming
from? I tried different speaker cables/power cord and that didn't change
anything. I also tried unplugging all my sources and left just the amp
and speakers plugged in ad still had the faint hiss. Like I said, it's
not audible unless I really get my ear close to the tweeter (about 3
inches). I might be nit picking but was wondering if anyone has had
experience like this before? Should I try a different outlet? I am in an
apartment so only have one or two places to put everything. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
