Avoid future audio neurosis- don't put your ear up to the tweeter.
Best long term solution for A.N- stay away from audio forums.
Very faint hiss from tweeter
I just put a new system together and noticed that when no music is playing, if I put my ear very close to the tweeter on either speaker, there is a very faint hiss sound. Is this indicative of a problem? Its not audible unless my ear is very close to the tweeter, but I wonder if its polluting amplified sound when I play music. Should a system be stone cold silent when powered on with no music playing?
Heres my stack:
Focal Aria 936
Parasound A23+
Schiit Freya+
Bluesound Node X
IME, a system with tube electronics likely produce a faint hiss; which is normal. As long as the hiss noise doesn’t intrude or increases as you raise the volume or audible from your listening chair, you got nothing to worry. If it bothers you, then be ready to spend some money and considerable efforts on gear swapping journey. |
