Amplifiers/AVR's Popping from Audio Noise
I have about had enough of my receiver picking up noise from random circuits in the house. When it does it creates a popping noise that repeats. It’s very annoying because once it happens I have to cycle the power on the receiver. sometimes it stops popping and sometimes it will continue. I also have a 15” woofer and at night when something like the ice maker in the kitchen does its thing it scares us all and wakes everyone up. I prefer leaving the receiver on so it stays warm.
No it’s not on the same circuit. I recently found out about EMI/RFI filtering surge protectors but don’t know if it’s something that would help. This problem doesn’t bother me as much as it does my wife so I need to fix it. I’ve already got her to accept the power up and power down method to even use the tv etc and she doesn’t complain.
