Hissing sound coming from tweeters


Right now I'm experiencing a hissing noise coming from the tweeters on my Klipsch RF7II's, and can't figure out what is causing the noise. It's almost like a white noise that is there when the amplifiers are powered on and is not affected by changes in volume.

My system consists of an Oppo BDP-83 blu-ray player, Ayre K-5xe preamp, and two Emotiva UPA-1 mono blocks. My cables are Audioquest King Cobra and Audioquest Emeralds. I would greatly appreciate any help resolving this problem. The hissing sound is very annoying. Thanks.

It could be your system is not grounded properly. Our cable company, comcast was doing work and and did not properly ground the system. I was having hissing through the tweeters also. To pinpoint I disconnected the cable into the preamp and the hissing stopped.
