I just purchased the 1050 along with Paradigm Reference 40s. Initially connected them with Monster cable, and was getting system shutdowns. So I added Radio Shack gold-plated banana plugs. Now everthing sounds great except....

Hiss. Not hum. Hiss.

The hiss is worsened by switching from analog to digital input, and of course increasing the volume. It is even noticeable at lower volumes (35 and up). I am using a Sony CD player, and same result with different discs. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
