I thought it might be HV leakage based on discussions I've seen on
this list. I've run it with the cover off and the lights off and I
can see no evidence of sparking or other visible discharge.
It still can be HV leakage in some obscure location. I've seen leakage
as small as a centimeter arcing around the FB Xmfr. If there's enough
arcing to create the crackling sound --created by the lightening speed
of electrons rushing thru the air-- you can be rest assured it's HV leakage.
