Help - static noise in speakers


I hear static in one speaker.  I switched the speaker wires and the static changed speakers, so I guess its coming from the amp or from the speaker wire.  Its not loud but its noticable.  I have a Mcintosh 352 integrated tube amp and Audioquest Red River cables.  It happensd regardless of the input, so its not the table or the streamer.  

Does anyone have any ideas beyond taking the amp in for service?

 

Thanks

I had a weird static noise coming through my speakers and discovered two things contributing to noise.  Ethernet  cabling near speaker wires and I also had to move e my ethernet switch away from my tube preamp.   Amp is tube.  

In my last house I had a Glade Plug In air freshener causing noise.   Whenever it released its scent I got a crackling noise through speakers.  Wasn't even on the same circuit.  Unplug any stuff like that while troubleshooting 

Nice !  Some tubes are more immune to RFI than others.  Some are intolerant and act like an antenna when not shielded or RFI is too close.
