popping from speakers?

i mean LOUD popping. when i turn on amp there's a hum and ever now and then a mild pop or crackle. then when i turn on cd or any component, within a few minutes there's a loud pop, like someone dropping the oxford dictionary from like 10 ft up.

help??

it seems to be only on one speaker side. i've even gone a bought a power cleaner to put in front of amp and all components.. still no go. so it doesn't seem to be the power?

anyone have any thoughts? help is appreciated

I had the same problem when I added a dac into my system. So, the culprit had to be the dac. I sent it in for a thorough checkup and the problem was narrowed down to a loose solder joint. After that was fixed, the popping went away completely. So, maybe you can try to check your components for any loose joints (it's no easy task). Hope this helps.

Cheers.
