Noise floor hiss

I've noticed on my setup that the noise floor hiss starts to become noticeable from the listening position after I reach about 90db volume level. (with no record playing) Now normally I don't listen this loud often, but it still annoys me that the hiss is there. Can I do anything to "quiet" the hiss so I may turn the amp up louder without fear of background hiss?

You could try re-routing or changing interconnects and speaker cables, as you could be picking up noise due to shielding (or lack there of) issues. Outside of that you probably will need to get a preamp/amp with a lower noise floor.

Cheers,
