HELP I think I have an electrical issue??


A few months ago I had 2 20amp dedicated lines with hospital grade duplex's installed. All was well with my Bel Canto Ref1000 mono's. Well a few days ago I just got a pair of Genesis m60 tube amps. I was noticing a clicking noise coming through my speakers. I first noticed this when I was just warming up the amps with no source on. Then I also noticed the clicking when a source was on with music playing.

So it turns out that the clicking noise is my electric ignition of my gas furnace, is somehow playing through my speakers (Or maybe its just one of them, not exactly sure yet) This is a very strange and annoying. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Could a common-ground explain the problem? Have you tried to lift the ground on the M60 Amplifiers?? Use a 2-prong adapter on each amplifier. It may improve the audio reproduction as well.
Generally, dedicated lines are installed with a separate breaker-box specifically for those lines(separate from the main panel). A separate ground is also required. Otherwise, the electrical sound of every appliance in the house can, and possibly will, travel through your audio system.
