I had the same problem with my VPI HW-19. Many others had the same problem. If you don’t want to change the capacitor just switch to another source when you turn the table off. I got so used to doing it that way it became second nature when using the table!
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?

Chances are, @testpilot nailed it. |
@ibmjunkman, the OP might not want to turn the amplifier off each time to change a record. |
