Loud pop when I use the turntable on/off button

I hooked up a new Manley Chinook phono pre-amp yesterday and when I press the turntable's on/off button I am getting a loud pop sound.The unit seems to be working,I need help with the on/off problem.I never had this problem with the Belles 120A that the Chinook is replacing.Turntable is VPI Classic One with Lyra Delos cartridge.

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?

Jyprez, if it pops when you turn it on, it needs to be fixed. I am sure the manufacturer intended for a cap to be there!

My new C1 with my Zesto Andros PS-1 is dead quiet when turning on / off the table with the volume up.

Hello Bank738,
Sorry about taking so long to respond but I have been putting in extra time at work this past week.So far I have put about 8 hours on the Chinook so have a ways to go before it is broken in.I have played a variety of music and have been very impressed with the unit.Super quiet with wide,tall and deep soundstage,well-defined bass and very good detail retrieval.It is significantly better than the Belles 120A it has replaced.
