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.

Make sure that the capacitor you purchase is rated to withstand a high enough voltage. Assuming the rating is specified as WVDC (Working Volts DC), and assuming that you are in the USA or another country where the line voltage is around 120 volts AC, I wouldn't choose anything less than 400 WVDC, to assure long-term reliability.
