Cable INteracion Question


I am trying a new set of cables, and when I insert them between the preamp and amp, I hear a ton of noise (sounds like the capacitors charging) in the amp at power up. When I revert back to my old cables I hear no such noise. What could be causing the "noise" in the new cables??

More info needed. At least:

Brand and model of both old and new cables.
Brand and model of amp and preamp.
Amp: Adcon GFA-5500 modified bt Stan Warren
Preamp: SAS 10-A
Old IC: Sonoran Desert Plateau
New IC: SAS V
I'm sorry but I'm not that familiar with the SAS cables. Are they shielded (the Sonoran cables are). Try reversing the orientation of the SAS cables and see if that helps.
