Help with a hum or buzz thru my speakers read ...

Help...
I have a pair of Aragon Palladiums and they are hooked to
Mirage OM 9 speakers with wireworld silver eclipse II cables..The amps have Transparent power cables on them and
the pre/processor is a B&K ref 20.. the amps are balanced inputs but the processor is rca.. I have purchased Transparent RCA to XLR ultra interconnects.. I have significant noise thru the speakers when there is no source playing.. but when I turn the power off to the preamp, there is no noise thru the speakers... also when the preamp is on and I disconnect the RCA to XLR cables from the amp.. the noise goes away... Coult the cables be causing the problem.... I am also using a Monster hts 3500 and a ps audio hospital grade outlet... Any suggestions...
Thanks for the help

Along with the cheater plugs, you could try disconnecting your cable line from your tv or VCR, which is probably connected to your proccessor/pre-amp. If this cures the probblem, your cable line is not grounded properly. Also, try connecting your cable to your Monster 3500.
Good Luck
