Pop noise from turntable when power-off the unit.


would you give me any solutions for this problem.
My equipments are; VPI Class 2 turntable, Fosgate Signature
preamp, VAC 160i Integrate Amp.
The pop noise is very loud when turning off the power of the turntable to change a record.
Thanks,

Mine does the same thing but I always turn the volume down before switching off the Turntable which takes care of the poping noise issue. But if it bothers you I believe there is a capacitor change that is easy to do. I would write VPI and ask.

check that 6dj8 tube in the Fosgate,very sensitive to vibrations. Is the TT close to the Fosgate?
It's a capacitor issue in the Classic. Apparently, about 10% of the systems with the Classic experience this issue according to Mike from VPI. Some systems just love to pick the pop up upon turning the unit off. Just like the poster above, I simply turn the volume down on my preamp before I switch the motor button off. Mike said pressing the mute button, or changing input will accomplish the same thing with less work.
Are you muting the VAC integrated amp before turning off the turntable? If not, DO SO!!

I ALWAYS mute the preamp while turning off/on the turntable. Put the new record on, clean it, start it and UNMUTE. It's just that easy.
