How to Manage Rhea "Noise"

I have noticed excessive noise from my Rhea. The balanced out is noisier than the RCA out. Gain greater than 56db makes the noise completely unacceptable/clearly heard from my "sweet seat." This prevents use of ultra low output moving coils. Any suggestions. By the way my old PH-3 was dead quite. Go figure.

I hate to say this. sell the rhea and get a phono stage that is not noisy.
LOMC's with the rhea produces tube noise. I have had the rhea in my system twice 3 years apart and both times I had tube noise.
BTW do you still have the high output benz. you should get no noise with that.
