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.

Dear @infection : No, certainly is not normal that hiss/hum you are experienced with your PS ( especially at that " moderated " SPLs. ) that even has a lower noise level than the top of the line Reference in Whest catalog. You unit must be totally silent by design.

So exist a problem in your unit that it's out of specs or contaminated from other audio system link. The hum could be a ground loop or maybe the orientation of the IC phono cable.

Anyway, exist a trouble down there.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
