Hiss, hum bad for speakers?


I've got some kind of hiss/hum going on here. Not sure if it is feedback from the high-level connection from my amp to my REL sub or just from connecting multiple amps into wall sockets. The question is, is this hum, hiss, high wine bad for my speakers and gear?

After trying cheater plugs on each of a dozen components and then taking them out of the system one at a time, I've recently changed the interconnects from Nordost SPM to Kimber KS1020. The audible hum is now gone!

It's unshielded vs shielded that eliminated the hum in my system. My preference is the faster SPM but the tradeoff to eliminate the hum was worthy of the change. Change the interconnects.
