VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off


I just recently purchased a VPI Scout. Whenever I turn the motor off to change records, a loud pop comes through the speakers. I called VPI about this, and was told that it is "system dependent" and not something to worry about. I was told just to turn the volume down before turning it off, which doesn't really satisfy me as a legit answer. I have read on the forums on Audio Asylum that I am not alone with this issue. Is VPI's response just side stepping the issue? Is it really something to worry about? I found it sort of a lame response.

Mekong56,
A DIY fix would be to wire a snubber circuit across the on/off switch of the VPI.

Simple, a resistor in series with a capacitor paralleled across the switch's contact.
