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 ?

One more test. Very gently spread your fingers and press in the speaker cone about 1/4 inch and release. If you hear any scrapping sound then you have a bad winding in that voice coil. Make sure you push evenly about the speakers center axis and not all on one side. Sometimes a bad voice coil sounds like electronic problems. Fuzzy sound would be in your mid range or tweeter, probably not the woofer.
