Since yesterday, I've been getting a random "pop" from my AKG K-100s in the left channel only. It reminds me of the "pops" you get from a noisy LP. It seems to happen only when the music gets loud. I don't believe that I am overdriving them; I have the volume on my Marantz 2226 receiver at only 8-9 o'clock. Any ideas? I am using them with the Equinox replacement cable, not the original AKG cable, BTW.

This pop occurs when listening thru the Marantz hp out?

Never hear it on mine. Try another amp.

It may be the driver voice coil bottoming out from sub-sonic signals. Can you "see" the driver moving around when you look at it?

I haven't looked at the driver. I'll have to give that a try.

I'm also going to try another amp/original cable. If it works fine on that, than I know it's either the amp or the cable.

No, I have the AKG's connected to the speaker posts.
