CJ pre Noise Floor


I just got a CJ PV10aL and I notice that it has a distinct noise floor that my old Rotel pre did not. The Rotel was absolutely black in teh background. The CJ isn't. Is this normal with a tube pre?

The amp is a Levinson ML-9

Thanks

I have a CJ 12L and have been swapped several types of tubes in and out, and have listened for noise. It's proven to be a very quiet pre amp. Tried you different tubes with dampers? Dave
