Dedicated line problem


I had my house installed with one dedicated line running to my entertainment center when I built it. In the breaker box there is one circut dedicated for the entertainment center.

I have a full Isoclean setup $$$ running out of this line. When I turn on/off a ceiling fan/light I can hear a loud popping sound coming from my speakers. Should this happen or did the install go wrong?

What can I do to fix this problem if there is one?

Hello Glory,
I had a similar situation in my home/system. I tried everything to get rid of it (drove me nuts), and finally determined a bad earth ground was the major culprit. I dug up the ground rod by the meter base, and found the thing in a very rusted condition, and the clamps attaching the ground wire had deteriated. I removed the ground clamp, vigorously power wire-brushed the area, used a new and better ground clamp, and then covered that section with automotive undercoating to preserve the connection.
It seems the probelem can appear also when extremely dry conditions occur, causing a less-than-perfect grounding. A good soaking with a sprinkler can help.

I don't know if this will help you, but it sure helped in my instance.
Good luck,
Dan
