Hope someone can help me, I'll try and explain this as easily as I can. My system is a 46" LCD, AppleTV, Sony Blu-ray, Marantz SR7001, Emo UPA-2, BFD, Crown XLS-602. It has been found that turning on the overhead fan in my living room (where the stereo is) produces a pop in the left and right mains. They are powered off of the UPA-2. The center is powered off the Marantz. There is no pop present in the center channel. I disconnected all components in turn to isolate anything. I separated the power cords from all components from the RCA's connecting the Marantz to the UPA (neither has balanced connectors available). Also plugged the UPA into the wall (normally plugged into a surge protector-yes I know Emotiva says to plug it straight in.) Disconnected the RCA's from the UPA, and the pop goes away. Disconnected the RCA's from the Marantz, and the pop is amplified. So this pretty much means the RCA cables are acting like an antenna. I wiggled the connectors on each end to make sure the shielding wasn't damaged, and the cables check good with a meter. Now here's the kicker: the overhead fan has a light kit, and when the light kit only is switched on, it does not produce the pop. It is only when the fan motor is switched on. So... I'm out of any ideas. Does anybody have any? Thanks!!!
