What preamp are you using?
Very slight "Hiss"
When I press my ear next to the tweeter, either channel or input selection, I hear a "hiss". I have tried chokes, and changed physical position of IC's. However, I noticed that if I select an input that has nothing connected to it, the hiss increases. The hiss is small, but it really bugs me all the same. Might there be a way to eliminate it??
Thanks.

I bet if you stand on your head for an hour you'll get a headache too, but why would you ever do that? In normal use why would you ever press your ear next to the tweeter? I agree with Tpreaves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_disorder . |
The 'very slight hiss' you hear means you are still alive. I know of NO audio electronics that give ZERO hiss. Some may become really inaudible, but trust me, it is still there, just below your threshold of hearing. The noise is just the stuff of electronics. Some are worse.. when you can hear it from your seated position THEN start to do something about it (which basically means throw money at it). |
Elizabeth is correct. No electronics can achieve zero noise. What you guys are hearing is residual thermal hiss, which occurs in all electronics, regardless of quality or price. As long as hiss is inaudible from the listening position on the quietest music passages, there is no problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_noise . |
