Loud pop when I use the turntable on/off button


I hooked up a new Manley Chinook phono pre-amp yesterday and when I press the turntable's on/off button I am getting a loud pop sound.The unit seems to be working,I need help with the on/off problem.I never had this problem with the Belles 120A that the Chinook is replacing.Turntable is VPI Classic One with Lyra Delos cartridge.

Montgomery,
This topic has been discussed here many, many times. Just do some search for an in-depth discussion regarding this issue.

In a nutshell, the culprit is your Classic; you'd need to replace a capacitor in the motor to get rid of the pop. Or you can simply lower the volume all the way down or switch the input before you turn off the turntable. That's what I do.
