Hum and hiss with Rives Parc

I have recently installed a Rives Parc into my system. It has introduced an annoying hum and an audible hiss. I have isolated the earth temporarily and eliminated the possibility of a groung loop. I have tried a different power cord (Eichmann Express) to no avail. Has anybody else had a similar issue with these units? If so any help would be appreciated. I am using a Chang Lightspeed power conditioner.

Yeah - tried that. No better. Tried a different power cord - no better. I'll put it into a friends system and see if it is still the same. Might be a faulty unit which could be a problem because I am in New Zealand and purchased it from a dealer in Singapore. Any other suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks guys

I have dropped Rives an email. Should be able to get it sorted. It makes a wonderful difference to the bass. After years of messing around with various room treatments, I finally bit the bullet.

Thanks for your reply which I received. I really appreciate it when a manufacturer makes the time to offer advice. I would like to add that apart from this issue the unit has sorted out my bass problems instantly without doing anything to the midrange or higher frequencies. Sounds fantastic.

I will try a few of the ideas you suggested. I'll let you know the outcome by email.
