A bit off-topic but I'm not sure where else to ask this!
Does anyone else use the Lyr as a pre-amp? I've recently added a power amp and 'speakers to my system (Bifrost Uber and Lyr) and it's been very noisy! I've tried different sets of tubes (Telefunkens, Philips and Mallards) but all sound the same. With nothing playing, there is a significant amount of harsh hissing background noise, which is still audible when playing music. Is this to be expected with a high output amp or do I need something fixed?
NB : Bifrost Uber -> Lyr -> Quad 99 -> Wharfedale Diamond 220
