The switch to the motor is arcing. Either the capacitor at the switch is no longer functioning, or you need to use a higher value capacitor. This appears to be a common problem with VPI motor switches. I believe they recommend replacing the .001 uF cap with a .01 uF cap (you would be looking for a high voltage ceramic cap), but I am not sure so please check with VPI.
VPI motor makes loud pops when turned on & off
Can someone suggest a possible fix for this?
I have the large 300 rpm Aries motor with heavy gauge grounded plug, which appears to be fine. The switch is on the side of the motor. It is plugged into the same outlets as my other components. I can mute the signal completely each time I shut it off and turn it on, (for each lp side) but it is really annoying.
Suggestions are very much appreciated..
Thanks,
Joe
