Snap, crackle pop in speakers??

Ever since I added my Hsu VTF2 subwoofer to my system I am constantly getting a crackle and pop in the speakers which last for a Nano second almost sounds like static from a dirty record. Also when someone uses a small appliance or vacum the noise is constant in the speakers. I have an NAD T753 reciever that is said to be notorious for this type of ground Loop problem I am told. From the advice on this board I installed a two prong cheater plug into the NAD three prong plug which has done nothing to correct the problem.

All other components have two prong polarized plugs. This problem was not around before I installed the sub a month or so back. So please don't as me to trace all the components in my system I know the sub is creating a ground loop.

Anyone know how I can fix this problem??

The two prong plug will not fix the problem, that's if you have a ground loop symptoms is a continous hum from the speaker. I have the same popping sound before if there are any fans or motors that are being turn on and off.
I haven't heard it lately after I installed a power conditioner such as the Monster HTS-5100. Surge protectors will not eliminate it. I am not saying that the problem is fix, it might just be a coincidence. If you find something else that would fix it please let me know.

I thought I just posted a response but not there :confused:

Someone else had this problem about 2 weeks ago. I bet you have a 2 probg power plug and 3 prong power plugs in your system. If so, you have a ground loop interference. You need a cheeter plug on that 3 prong plug. Try that first.
