Loud pop when I use the turntable on/off button

Make sure that the capacitor you purchase is rated to withstand a high enough voltage. Assuming the rating is specified as WVDC (Working Volts DC), and assuming that you are in the USA or another country where the line voltage is around 120 volts AC, I wouldn't choose anything less than 400 WVDC, to assure long-term reliability.

I wonder if VPI has fixed this problem in production yet? They have known about it for years now. The part is very cheap.

I am considering the same phono pre-amp. I too own the Classic. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Manley unit!

I have the same issue with my Herron & VPI Classic combination and I simply turn the volume down before switching off the table. Of course replacing the Cap is an option as well.

I have a transrotor fat bob TT with the same issue. I just flip the mute switch on my LAMM preamp first. But why would a TT manufacturer not provide a capacitor that would avoid this in the first place?
