Unison Unico SE noise


I have a Unison Unico SE. Even though I might not have my cd player on or the tv on (sources hooked into it), my speakers have this continuous static noise. I do not notice it when listening to music, but when everything is off I can here it. Any ideas on how to take care of this problem? Thanks

Wow, I just got it back from Underwood Hi for mods not to long ago. I know the replace the stock tubes. Think it could be bad already? By the way, their service was great, they really took care of another problem I had with the amp.
I tried unhooking all the interconnects. Even with all of them unhooked, the noise is still there.

Okay Newbee, I think you are right. I can't really hear the hum/static from my listening position. I have to get close to the speaker to hear it. I certainly do not hear it when the tv is on or when I am playing music. Thanks for the input so far guys.
although there is noise from both speakers, it is really bad, loud in the right channel. It is a lot louder then when I first posted about the problem earlier. So I opened up the amp and switched the tubes from one side to the other. Sure enough the heavy static noise moved to the left side so that means it is a bad tube. These are the mullard CU 4003s (12AU7s). I know I need to replace the one tube, but my question is are the mullards a little noisey anyways?
