| Loud pop when I use the turntable on/off button I am considering the same phono pre-amp. I too own the Classic. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Manley unit!Brian | |

| What's up with that? I am just surprised this conversation has continued with the changes we all have observed on this site. Input and feedback has seemed to be censored greatly. Google audiogon lately and look down at about the fifth item. :-) I don't hear or read to... | |
