I mute my phono pre before turning on the TT, so I have no idea if my TT would "thump" if my phono pre was not muted.
More importantly, ... I have no intention of "testing" my set up to see what would happen if I didn't mute the phono pre. Why would I want to take a chance of damaging a speaker or downstream component because of a TT thump or transient or accidental tone arm drop??
So what if the TT thumps when switched on. What's the issue?? Who cares? Why is this even a question?
