Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

I've noticed that from time to time, and more often than not, the outputs(main and individual) on my MPC60 are producing a slightly random fuzz sound, not like normal noise you get from vintage gear. I say random because it does seem to be doing it at all times, but the level and intensity of the fuzz is random. It's sort of like the sound of crumpling piece of paper and running it through a lowpass filter lol. I have the SCSI board and the SCSI remains plugged in at all times and often will add some sort of interference noise, I thought that was the problem but even after powering off and removing the SCSI drive/port, the noise is still there. To be honest it seems like it might be coming from only some of the outputs and I've tried balanced and unbalanced cables.

It's low enough that its not too much of an issue at all, but noise is noise and I would like to know if this is at all a common thing with the 60, and if theres a remedy y'all might know of.
