Popping Sound From TT

It seems every time I remove a record from the platter there is a loud popping noise coming from the speakers. At first it was not too bad but now that I have upgraded my phone pre amp, it's louder and I’m afraid that I can blow a speaker, if I don’t remember to lower the volume or change inputs. Like I said this only happens when I remove the record. In fact I can just wave the record around the turn table and still get this popping.

You may still get some with heavy LP's, like 180 and 200 gram records.

Static. Is your Scout's bearing grounded? If not, you can improve and maybe eliminate this condition by attaching a ground wire. I keep a barometer in my listening room and run a humidifier this time of year to keep the humidity up. I think this is better than using a Zerostat gun.
