POP sound when turning off TT

are you insinuating that something internally has failed, or that the failure is inherent to the design and I will need to solve for it with other methods (aftermarket addon, like conditioner, shut down sequence, etc).  Just want to be sure I don’t have a warranty claim that I should file.

@bound4h In case its not obvious, if I were you I would contact Rega and ask about this very topic. If they seem to have no complaints in this regard, and if your machine is in warranty, then you do have a claim. But it might be cheaper to have a local technician replace the capacitor. They are not expensive!!

Sound like the snubber capacitor across the table’s motor power switch has either failed or is undersized.

@bound4h, @testpilot called it on this one. There is supposed to be a bypass capacitor across the power switch contacts. It is there to prevent damage to the contacts when the switch is operated, as it eliminates arcing. When the switch arcs you hear the pop. Either the capacitor has failed or it was never installed. Once its in place this problem will be gone. The value is typically 0.01uf rated at 1000Volts.
