Occasional *pop* coming through speakers

Sign in to disble this ad
Should I be overly concerned about this? I assume its in the amp. Mesa M-Pulse 600. The amp functions well, except for an occasional pop. By occasional, I mean once every two or three practice sessions. Not often.

Is it the preamp tubes most likely? An internal arc inside the tube(s) causing the pop? I am running the AC power through a Furman power conditioner, and I thought that was supposed to help "clean up" the juice going to the amp, and perhaps eliminate this. But I don't know much about these things, obviously.

Thanks

What else is plugged into the outlet, or even the circuit?

My computer speakers pop when my mini-fridge compressor cycles on.

Hmmm, good question. For sure my amp is the only thing on that particular outlet, but there could be other outlets on the circuit. Probably is.
