Dbx 3bx pops


Hi People, i rarely ask in the forum, but this problem is driving me kinda crazy. I have a 3bx ds dynamic range expander that i use with my turntable and, only with certain albums and certain songs, it makes a poping sound. The "pop" sound always happens in the same part of a song, so it's not random, and it depends on how much expansion or impact restoration i have dialed. Could it be that the dbx is making my amp clip? (i have a cambridge axr 85 amp). The popping sound is so loud that it scares me everytime...but it only happens if im using the dbx. 

In this video you can clearly hear it after the part that says "New York times"

Hi islandmandan, how are you doing? I know this is kinda taboo to say in the audiophile world, but i really like the effect that dbx provides. It makes the music more "spacious". Although, it is true that without the dbx in the chain, my system doesnt have any problems hahaha.

These days, I'm getting maybe a mite more listening pleasure from my analog front end than from digital. Analog has a bit different sound than digital does, but I'm now 76 years old, so I guess I'm due, 'ya know?

Enjoy regards,

Dan
