Help - static noise in speakers
oddiofyl - you are correct as well.  I had no idea, but yes - when I moved the ethernet cable farther away from the amp, the noise stopped.   Thanks to everyone who responded.  After all the troubleshooting, it was the simplest fix - move the eth... 
Help - static noise in speakers
faustuss - you are correct.  The Red River box was right next to the other one and they look almost identical.  My speaker wires are AQ Rocket 44    
Help - static noise in speakers
I tried unplugging the amp for about 5 minutes but that didn't fix it.   I also just plugged in headphones and I don't hear the static. So does that mean it may not be the tubes, but maybe the speaker out connection? Thanks for all the ideas eve... 
Help - static noise in speakers
I did try moving the tubes to the other side, and even tried 2 new, extra tubes that I had on hand - no improvement. So I guess I will wait for McIntosh to respond (even thought it took them weeks to respond the last time I had an issue)    
Help - static noise in speakers
So now, I've removed and reinstalled the tubes several times with no improvement.  All the tubes are lit up green. I also tried a different speaker cable with no improvement.   I hate to buy all new tubes, but it seems that the problem is in the...

I'm near Charlotte NC, in Mooresville if there are any others in the area

Short in my system?
Thanks for all the tips.  I have tried touching a few things, like my anti static album brush, but it still happens.  I will look into losing my shoes or touching something else and see if that works.  
What happened to the Innous discussion
sls883,  True, but I bought a very nice USB cable,.  and I've read here that usb might be better than coax.  I tried to be as fair as possible and may have even cheated a bit in favor of the Innous streamer because I really wanted to like it.  But...

Thanks Jerry  
What happened to the Innous discussion
I'm glad I gave the Innous a try.  The dealer promised a world of difference but I had different results.  Maybe this will calm my need for the next bigger or better product.     I have always found it interesting that when I'm in a high end aud... 
What happened to the Innous discussion
I saw where there had been a discussion titled Innous is a scam, or something like that, but when I opened it, it said discussion deleted.   I guess someone was not happy with their Innous, but I'm curious  
What happened to the Innous discussion
I have a VPI Signature table with a Sutherland phonostage, a McIntosh 352 integrated tube amp, the Blusesound Vault streamer into a Weiss DAC thru coax cable, and Revel Studio speakers, with 2 SVS subs
