popping noise from my speakers

I have a pretty high end system with Vandersteen speakers and all PS audio electronics but I get a regular popping noise coming out of my speakers.

Try disconnecting the preamp from the power amp and run the power amp connected to the speakers only. If popping still happens, you've isolated it to the amplifier.

Don’t think PS Audio use common rectifier tubes for both channels, think that stage is all solid state. The only common thing to both channels is the transformer, I doubt it’s that https://www.stereophile.com/images/617ps.ins.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/df/f6/e4/dff6e4d089c2fd09309a560a722e52a6.jpg Cheers George
