I don't have any kind of conditioning gear currently. Would this work?
POP sound when turning off TT
Equip:
TT: Rega Planar 6
Phono Preamp: Lehmann Audio Black Box SE
Integrated Amp: Cambridge Audio CAX81
Speakers: Monitor Audio Silver 300
I just swapped out the phono preamp with the Schitt Mani that I had. I immediately noticed the humming/buzzing sound was gone when absent any source. Probably a grounding issue.
However, now when I go to power off the Rega (it comes with a separate PSU), I get a loud POP out of the speakers. Keep in mind the phono preamp is still on.
When I had the Schiit, albeit a much less quality preamp, I never got the pop.
What can/should I do? Ground the phono preamp to the CAX81?

@ibmjunkman yes unfortunately you have to turn off the psu in order to stop the rotation. @testpilot 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. |
