Default C52 hiss

Hey guys -

Earlier this year I traded my MA6600 + D100 in towards a new C52. I love it and am very happy with the upgrade. My plan is to eventually get a new amp as well (having a hard time deciding on tube vs. SS), but for now I am using an old MC7100 which is doing just fine.

I do have one concern however. This morning I noticed that there is a little hiss coming from the tweeters if I put my ear within a few inches of them. The hiss is definitely coming from the C52; if I turn the C52 off and leave the MC7100 on, the hiss disappears. I'm using balanced cables to connect the two components. I also removed everything from the C52 to confirm that the hiss was not coming from a source component.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this? I don't recall the MA6600 having any hiss at all.

Thanks!
-Matt
