My New Creek 4330...


Makes a loud POP when i turn it on, even when the
volume knob is all the way down. This doesnt seem
right. Anyone have any advice? Should I return it?

Thanks,

hi, thanks for all the replys!

to answer in short, the Creek sounds great! i very
happy with it driving my Diva 2.1's. It is alot
better than my old Nak power amp, which just died,
and my newish Carver preamp.

i guess i should try to write a good review, but I'm
not quite as sophisticated of an "Audio guy" as allot of you here.

Give me a little more time, it is possible.

still wondering about this pop, it does bother me.
but, at least i see its not an isolated problem
only with this unit.

Greetings Again,

Thought folks might be interested in the reply
I recieved from Creek Audio about my 4330 "POP".

Also, I spoke with a local audio dealer who told me that
the thump has allot to do with the quality of AC power
in your home. He claims that good power conditioning
can nearly eliminate the POP.

Thanks for everyone's replys!
