Hum in system from interconnects???


I have some 21' kimber hero rca I am using for interconnects to my quicksilver v4 amps. When I turn on the amps they are quiet till I plug in the kimbers. If they are not connected to my preamp just hanging there the amp hums quite loud untill I plug it in to the pre amp then they quiet up but still have a slight hum in the system. What is going on?

Should they hum if they are not plugged in to anything first off? I have tried grounds power connditioners etc. Is it just the cables is the run to long for rca? This also happens downstairs in my HT with a adcom solid state amp and kimber tonic 21' interconnects but it doesn't bug me as much.

Yea I have some also the one location I have a monster 5100 power conditioner and a power max on the other one is all tubes the other is all solid state. Wondering if it is the innerconnects? do other peoples amps hum when just a long interconnect plugged in.
ok here it is.
all are on the same outlet.
when interect is removed compleatly from amp no hum
when pluggen into just amp loud hum
when plugged into pre amp and amp low hum (this is normal)

could be the power is there anything that will totally isolate the power?
