First, understand that there are 3 stages to this. 1 was running 4 each 10 gauge dedicated 20 amp circuits to the system location. 2 was assembling "el cheapo" DIY AC cords for major components, specifically, amplifiers (3 of them), DVD player, pre/pro, and BFD. 3 was installing balanced power which I did not expect to do this quickly. The right transformer just became available and I bought it.
So Steve, back to your comment. Yes, the hiss was audible at the listening position with the volume turned up to O on the pre/pro which is calibrated to 85 db SPL pink noise. Albeit very, very low and I had to strain to hear it.
