Flipping record causing series of loud pops

Geez.  Buncha idjits.  Make sure to slam the stylus down on the vinyl while you're at it (but make sure you have the volume up to your normal listening level)!  If the tube phono pre has a separate power supply (or wall wart), make sure it's located well away from the phono pre and the turntable.  Sometimes proximity does funny things...

@jefgerard Try to ignore the folks feeding their own egos, it is ashamed bullying doesn’t stop when you get out of school. 

No one is BULLYING the OP. If you read the GD post its the addition of commits like "You don't need to volume down" "I've never done it", " I have owned tube phono stages for decades an have never had any pops.". 

The OP ask why, and I offered a solution in leu of an actual fix. 

So MR musicfan and Mr ghdprentice, READ the whole thread before you offer your opinion on folks you know ZERO about.. Like ME or anyone else around here. Keep your NAME callin' about ME to yourself.. pretty simple.

BOTH you HEROS need to learn some "I'm the new guy manners".
I'll be your huckleberry, Ringo!! Mouth got the best of him too. He should have been listening too.. Just like you should have read the WHOLE thread before running to someone rescue. ROOKIES... there was no fire, only smoke and YOUR at the wrong house with your FIRE HOSE OUT...

Semi Regard, that's a 6 out of a 10 on the regard scale... Silly people

jefgerard, would you please let us know what you discover?

I use a mute switch now because it is a big honking toggle switch right where my right hand is. The reason is I hate taking the volume up and down and I have a very powerful subwoofer system and the thump when the needle hits the record is enough to knock the squirrels out of the trees. 

This is a hateful problem. Blame the Victim. Trying Not To.

Where is this static coming from, being picked up from, that didn't exist before?

Can you go back to SS Phono no problem now?

Temporarily move tube phono far away from TT/LP with longer cables, problem gone?

It's the same LP's, same procedures, only problematic since the tube phono was added. The whole story: what else changed/moved?

Something/somewhere, like the wall wart, ... something changed, wearing different shoes? A new felt hat! Different cables? New platter mat? Platter mat removed? 

Something moved near where you keep your LP's that is loading them with static when you move them in/out?

My method is to change to an unused input when I clean the stylus, luckily I never have to worry when flipping sides or on/off.
