Popping Sound Coming From Speakers


I just installed two pairs of Audioquest Coral interconnects and when I turned on the amp the speakers started popping and crackling. When I removed them and put my old interconnects back on the problem disappeared. Any suggestions as to the cause would be greatly appreciated.

I suspect bad interconnect are at the root of the cause...

Seriously, have you pulled the connectors apart to see if you've got a lousy / broken solder joint or something obvious in there? I assume since you're asking here they're not new ICs or you would have just returned them.

You didn't loosen up a jack or two swapping them in/out, did you?

What are your old ICs and what other stuff do you have? Tube preamp???
