Static / Fuzzy Sound in Speakers

Hello,

ive just installed my new system : Wadia 861 CDP plugged in directly to an Odyssey Stratos Amp via TMC Yellow Interconnects. My speakers are Audience Paris.

Well, when i switch on the Amp and the CDPlayer, i get this faint fuzzy sound coming from the speakers. Its like a continuous static sound you get from a TV set when theres a very bad signal. Its just there. I can still hear it when i start playing a CD when i stick my hear to the speakers, and i can certainly hear it when theres nothing playing, on both channels.

I really dont know where this sound comes from, and why im getting it. The AMP is brand new, so are the interconnects and the speakers. The CDPlayer is the only one thats been bought second hand.

Any ideas ?

I had a similar problem with my Meridian 557 because I switched to XLR cable and left the RCA plugs blank.
After makeing up shorting plugs for the the RCA jacks
the noise went away. I still hear the slightest hiss but I would assume this is because the speakers are accepting
the signal from the power amp.
