Tube pre-amp pop


Setting up my new system : AR pre SP16l, Bryston 4 BSST, Rotel RCD 1072, Paradigm 40.2. I am kind of happy with the temporary set up for now BUT the POP issue comes up with the AR pre. Any time I touch any button on the remote for mute/unmute/volume up/volumedown.....there is a pop not loud but annoying between the two speakers. Is it the normal static pops for AR vacum tube components or there is a defective with my AR pre ? Could anything be done to eliminate the "boops" noise without sending it back to AR? PS: the Bryston amp and the Rotel CPC are dead quite. Thanks

Have you called ARC and spoken with Leonard already. I answered the question regarding the the LS3 owners pop in the other thread.That one may be due to DC offset in his amplifier,per ARC. Sounds like you may have a seperate issue. You can always contact Steve Huntley at his shop (Great american northern sound?) and ask him, He worked at ARC for years before going out on his own.
