I noticed this too with several amps (3 to be exact, all of the mid to high end variety), even when I bench tested them with mute plugs. I think it is the noise floor.

Try muting the inputs with mute plugs to see if the noise goes away.

 

try grounding in a differnt location sounds like a ground loop [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
