VPI Cyclone, causing pop in speakers

Hello,

Not sure this fits here so please advise but I am having this issue with my Cyclone.When I either engage the platter to spin or the vacuum, I get a pop in my speakers.Maybe it is not an issue but I run all tubes and I am a bit concerned that this could be a potential issue. 

I've tried moving the location and it doesn't help. I've also tried a conditioner and it didn't help either.

Any ideas? I plan on a main line to the system soon so maybe that wold help?

Do you think this could cause an issue to my equipment?

 

Thanks

Try a cheater plug, ground lifter between the outlet & power cord of the VPI.

Your speakers could be damaged and you are right to worry about it.  It probably is a bad power switch on the Cyclone.  Contact VPI to see what they say.  Or contact a local electrician to see what can be done to isolate and buffer the circuit that the RCM is plugged into from the rest of the house.

It’s not that bad, I am not worried about the speakers. I had an email out to VPI but haven’t heard back. I’ll give them a call.

Il also give the cheater plug a look. Thanks for the input guys.

Does the pop happen when you power on the platter/vacuum or does it happen when you power off?  Are you running a turntable?
