Everyone is focusing on the amp being the source of the noise, how about the preamp? You might want to first try having only the amp on (preamp and all sources off) to see if you hear the noise. If you don't hear any noise then the source of the noise is probably in the preamp or source components. I see you have an LS25 MK II so for relatively low cost you could swap out the preamp tubes to see if they are the problem.
Help..................... I am a little worried.
I am hearing a strange sound in my system that sounds.......well it's hard to discribe but, maybe a coughing, crackling kind of thing. It's not real loud, and I only hear it when I am not playing music. I have had some problems with my power amp (VT-200) blowing some tubes in the past, so I am thinking it might be something with it. The thing is ARC just went over it (about 2 months ago)and said everything is fine and installed all new tubes. I wonder though "Is everything fine"?
Does anyone have any ideas for help on this one. Could it be something else and how do I figure out what's causing this. Needless to say I am a little worried........ If it is the amp shipping this thing from TX to MN. isn't cheap.
