Vortex question

["K. Michael Odnaloc" <billowhead@hotmail.com>]

I have a Vortex unit that I'm quite fond of except for one thing, it seems 
to contribute a lot of noise to my signal (a fairly high level of hiss 
that 
is present when the unit is on and even perhaps a bit louder when the unit 
is bypassed).  Can anyone tell me if the Vortex is generally a noisy box 
or 
would you think its just something about my particular Vortex?

If you think I'm just one of the fortunate ones, then does anyone have any 
ideas of a cause or fix (I know I can send it to Lexicon but the $75 fee 
is 
a bit steep for me at this point you know).

Thanks in advance

KMC
