VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off

I just recently purchased a VPI Scout. Whenever I turn the motor off to change records, a loud pop comes through the speakers. I called VPI about this, and was told that it is "system dependent" and not something to worry about. I was told just to turn the volume down before turning it off, which doesn't really satisfy me as a legit answer. I have read on the forums on Audio Asylum that I am not alone with this issue. Is VPI's response just side stepping the issue? Is it really something to worry about? I found it sort of a lame response.

I agree this problem should have been rectified long ago, makes VPI look rather amateurish. I also think they should rectify the belt screeching problem. I also have an issue with their 10.5i arm upgrade to the Scoutmaster tt. I recieved mine with no template, you would think they would offer a template if they offer the arm upgrade to end users. They should either supply a template or make it a dealer only option. I can imagine a lot of amateurs screwing up the installation of this arm.

Good sounding equipment is not enough, service is just as important.

You are right about arrogance....I've been trying to get my VPI Aries repaired for over a month....The few times I called about it was a study in arrogance.....I won't call again, its not worth trouble.......I'll just buy another kind of turntable....Problem cured
