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

ya. sorry realized after i posted that you may need more info.

i did purchase a new amp - tube. however, this was in hopes of fixing a similar problem. the old amp, a transistor, was sparking. i'd figured it somehow got fried so i got a new one. this time a tube amp.

still didn't work so i tried a ps audio unit to clean the power.

today, i tried to make sure all cables were ok. i disconnected everything and reconnected.

i have tried putting in new tubes. no go.

i'm not sure i understand all the "floating" the ground stuff. sorry haven't ever played with electrical.

i can try the component first thing but i think i used to do that with the transistor amp and today i was just trying to narrow down if there were issues with the amp and the speaker since it's the new thing.

any help is appreciated. have put enough time and $$ into this problem and am a bit frustrated. in fact, this is obviously over a bit of time.

thanks for help.
