I've become accustomed to having my speakers audibly hiss when I turn them way up. Usually it's not an issue, because most of what I listen to is relatively loud. With extremely quite sources, though you can sometimes just hear that hiss. Seems like it's been like that with every audio system I've ever owned.

Is this something that it's possible to eliminate/greatly reduce? Will using only shielded speaker cabling alleviate the problem, or is this just "one of those things sound systems do"?

Thanks for any help.
