Usually a 0.01uf 600V cap placed across the power switch terminals is all that is needed to deal with this problem. That cap should not cost more than a dollar... we have them if anyone needs them.
VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off
I just recently purchased a VPI Scout. Whenever I turn the motor off to change records, a loud pop comes through the speakers. I called VPI about this, and was told that it is "system dependent" and not something to worry about. I was told just to turn the volume down before turning it off, which doesn't really satisfy me as a legit answer. I have read on the forums on Audio Asylum that I am not alone with this issue. Is VPI's response just side stepping the issue? Is it really something to worry about? I found it sort of a lame response.
