pmd661 weirdness

I just noticed sth strange with my pmd661

I wanted to test if the noise I got on a recording was due to the
mics I used or the pre-amps of the machine, so
I just plugged the headphones and without anything connected I pumped
up the gain.
I noticed that I got 2 times more noise when phantom power was on !

I was wandering if this is normal.. or it might be a problem with my
machine only ??

Is there anybody with the same machine able to test his own and
provide feedback??

Just in case the noise appears only on the headphones, I will try to
make some recordings without any mike plugged in
and inform the list

thx
