Acceptable hiss ?


Is is normal to hear absoultely NOTHING coming out of your speakers when no information is being passed through ? Or should there be a subtle hissing when your ear is close to the tweeter ? I'm getting a slight hissing, and am wondering whether or not this is acceptable. I am using Sonus grand piano fronts / center and Sonus Concertino Rear; driven by a B&k 307.

The hiss is louder from the left and right channels than is is from the center/rears. I have Linn Lk400 (dont ask) 6ft biwire cables going to the Left/Right; and custom made cables going to center/rear. The Linn cables are about 8 years old, could this be an issue ?
