Hiss noise from speakers


I have a Rotel RC-1070 pre, RB-1070 amp, RCC-1055 changer & B&W804N spealers with an ASW800 sub. I can hear an audible hiss in the B&W tweets but when pre is turned off hiss is gone. Any ideas or solutions? IC are Straightwire Concertos. Thanks.

I think this is a very common thing. I can't think of a rig I've assembled in which this "hiss" didn't exist at some level. The degree varies from preamp to preamp. It was a big problem with an Exposure preamp I had, which was a really great preamp in spite of it. I was told that a common method to reduce it is to place caps on un-used RCA inputs. I just decided to quit worrying about it instead.
All electronics have some noise. If you have to put your ear to the tweeter that is normal with the volume turned up or a tube piece.
Don't put your ear up to the tweeter.

"Doctor, It hurts when I do this."
"Don't do that"
Thanks for all of the responses. I went to my dealer and listened to Classe & Krell - both of which exhibited some noise fromt he tweeters of B&W 803. I suppose I willjust live with this - not a big deal since I can't hear from my listening position.
