My New Creek 4330...


Makes a loud POP when i turn it on, even when the
volume knob is all the way down. This doesnt seem
right. Anyone have any advice? Should I return it?

Thanks,

My 4330R does that, too. I never turn it off unless a thunderstorm is coming and I have the presence of mind to protect it. It is a very musical "pop," I should add. My new Creek 5350SE does not do the "pop" thing.
The creek 4330 I use to have also made a popping sound when turned on/off. It never damaged my old Magnepan mmg's but I'd check to see if you could modify it for a soft start.
how does that thing sound anyhow?they're so cheap,i was thinking about picking one up for my dad
Mine pops also with Totem Arros-anyone out there with an electrical engineering background who can expalin this?
hi, thanks for all the replys!

to answer in short, the Creek sounds great! i very
happy with it driving my Diva 2.1's. It is alot
better than my old Nak power amp, which just died,
and my newish Carver preamp.

i guess i should try to write a good review, but I'm
not quite as sophisticated of an "Audio guy" as allot of you here.

Give me a little more time, it is possible.

still wondering about this pop, it does bother me.
but, at least i see its not an isolated problem
only with this unit.
