Hi Phil. These sets use Germanium transistors. Take my word for it...they hiss at low level. Germanium transistors are noisey compared to silicon. Even if you change the transistors for brand new Germaniums it will still hiss. It should not be annoying...in other words you should not hear it above the music or speech even at low volume level. Mine and others I have repaired all hiss to the same degree...thats the way they are.
