Thank you Mr. Soundhound...
After reading your commentary, it makes sense that RF interference would be the cause of the bulk of my minor hiss problem. The power conditioner also isolates components to filter out any inter-device coupling (I understand that some CD & DVD players can be a source of this). Anyway, in my case it had a very noticeable effect on sound quality.

Thanks again... Happy Holidays!
