I keep getting a faint buzz from my speakers even when my system is on but idle with nothing playing. I've determined it is coming from the power amp through my interconnects. My power amp is a B&K Reference 200.5 and my preamp is a B&K Reference 30 and the speakers are Paradigm Studio 100. The interconnects are Xios brand. It seems that by moving the interconnects away from other cables in my system that the buzz goes away. Right now I have them positioned so that the buzz is not audible but here is my question and reason for posting. Is there a better brand of interconnect that I can use that is better shielded yet still retains the clearity and definition we all like in our systems?
Thank you
