I only say this in order to let you know that perhaps indeed you have a problem elsewhere in your signal chain, but fact is I get absolutely no noise - 0 - when no music plays or during silent passages, regardless of how loud my amp is turned up (110w). (Not to be dismissive; again, just to encourage you not to give up but to identify where the problem really is).
