VPI HW-19 Original Motor Turnoff Pop

Anyone had any success in eliminating the pop that occurs when turning off the motor and the preamp is not muted?

I sometimes forget to mute my preamp before switching the motor off. I understand there is a cap inside the motor that is designed to control this but, in my case, it is ineffective.

Any advice is much appreciated.

HI,
I FOUND THAT THE STOCK PUSHBUTTON WAS VERY NOISY.WHEN I REPLACED WITH A NICE TOGGLE IT MADE A BIG CHANGE.IT EVEN LOOKS NICE IN CHROME.REMEMBER TO GET ONE WITH A LONG STEM SO IT FITS THROUGH THE BASE.
GOOD LUCK

HI,
BEFORE YOU CHANGE SWITCH PLUG VPI INTO A POWER STRIP WITH AN ON OFF SWITCH AND TURN ON TABLE WITH THAT THEN YOU WILL KNOW FOR SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
