Speaker make "pop" noise when pre amp turn off

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea what cause the speakers to make a "poping" sound when the pre amp is turn off?
Any remedies to this? It sounds fine when all the componet are on. The system does not have a hum problem. This only happen when the pre amp is turn off, or the amp turn off with the pre amp off?
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks.

The correct sequence is...
ON: first - set preamp volume to minimum or muted
second - turn on preamp
third - turn on amp
OFF: first - set preamp volume to minimum or muted
second - turn off amp
third - turn off preamp

Blueswan hit it on the head. Do this and you should not have any problems.

Alternative sequence:
set preamp volume to minimum when not listening, but always leave it ON. That's what I do.

Is there any ARC REFII MKI owner experiencing the "pop" problem from speakers while switching to mute with power amp remaining on? Is that normal or something is going wrong? The preamp is working just fine while playing the music. My power amp is Pass X-600. Thanks in advance.
