Phono stage inquiry


I have an upgraded Whest PS.30RDT & when I increase the volume on the phono stage input when nothing is playing to a level not too far beyond my usual listening volume, I can hear a hiss. 
Should it be silent? Do any of you have this with your phono stage?

Thanks for your time.

Phonostages with SUT for the MC gain are normally super silent (if grounding is taken care of). Active stages can have that mild hiss.
