Loud thump when I power on or off


I have some NHT VT3's hooked up to a fairly nice system. The amp is the Mc6850. These speakers have the built in power amps and come with a preamp of they're own. The thumping noise never happened on my last several pairs of speakers with my current Amp. It also seems to of gotten quite a bit worse since I hooked up a turntable a few weeks ago. It is worse when the volume is turned up more.
I don't mean to sound like an idiot but my first few ideas are as follows: Buy a line conditioner, hmm, not sure what else. Do I have a ground issue? Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks,

Jafox offers good advise. I'd like to add, that if you have an unused source on your control unit (pre), you should select it. Furthermore, allow a couple of minutes between powering up or or especailly down between components in the suggested sequences.
