I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening?


When my central air kicks on, I hear a pop through each speaker.

Now the odd part is, I just started hearing this recently. I never remember hearing it for the first several months after I had the dedicated lines installed.

I have made several changes to my system recently that has taken the transparency of my system to a level I didn't think was possible, but I don't think that could explain why I am just now hearing the pops. Or could it?

But the primary question remains. Why is the air conditioning popping through my speakers when I have dedicated lines.

Could this be coming back through the main bus bar ground in my panel?

What would fix it?

I obviously know crap about this stuff.

I had this exact problem. For me, it was a bad tube in the right side of my phono stage, plus a different tonearm cable. It was all phono related for me. Not sure if that applies in your case.
Ah,you may have a grounding problem.Recheck the outlet ground and more importantly the ground connection at source.
If you have a basement you can drill a hole in the floor and drive a new ground rod.Run a separate ground wire from your outlet to this new ground rod.If you have an outlet like from PS Audio which has an isolated ground this is perfect because your outlet box and stuff is grounded normally and the isolated ground is all that is connected to our new ground rod.They may be i dunno $100 or something but the best improvment period in reducing noise and of course less noise means more music.Hope this helps.

ground your dedicated line to the box (fuse panel) instead of the buse bar. kurt
Why bother with dedicated lines if you don't isolate the grounds? As to the air conditioning popping: don't have a clue, but maybe it's related. peace, warren
