@esthios13- J.G. Holt published a glossary of terms for audio many years ago, I can try to find the link (or someone else can beat me to it), but I don’t remember if he addressed this issue in the glossary.
Hiss may or may not be source related. I use all tubes and play a lot of old records and seldom hear hiss. Some record surfaces are noisier than others though.
N.B. Unbeknownst to me, Holt and/or Stereophile converted his glossary into a book that is for sale. So, I’m not going to look for a link, given that you could buy the book if it is still in print and I’m reluctant to engage in copyright infringement.
It appears that the original book is out of print and crazy money. What appears to be an abbreviated glossary was published online by Stereophile: [url]https://www.stereophile.com/content/sounds-audio-glossary-glossary[/url]
