Short?

I have a McIntosh integrated hybrid tube amp / VPI table / Revel speakers.  When the AC comes on or off in the room i hear a loud pop.  I used to think it was a scratch on the album but now I realize its some sort of elelctrical issue.  I thought it might be a table grounding ussue but now it also happens occaisionally now when I'm not playing an album.  So does the amp need to be grounded?  And to what?  Thanks.

How many amps is the sevice panel feeding your house?

What Higher energy needs cause the motor to pull more energy from your home electrical system. The result is a deeper dimming of the lights. When this happens, the AC will have to drain more voltage from other appliances in your home – thus causing your lights to temporarily dim. Eventually, the capacitor will fail and will need replacement.
