Cable INteracion Question

I am trying a new set of cables, and when I insert them between the preamp and amp, I hear a ton of noise (sounds like the capacitors charging) in the amp at power up. When I revert back to my old cables I hear no such noise. What could be causing the "noise" in the new cables??

It sounds like the SAS IC is a Kimber-style cable made with Jena Labs wire. Does the cable have a strong stress-relief at the connector? Perhaps the solder joint was damaged in shipping. I'm not sure if that Vampire connector will let you look inside easily or not.
Hmmm.
