Does the pop still occur if the mute function of the SP3 is engaged prior to and at the time the stylus hits the record?
Also, by any chance do any of the components in the system, such as a powered subwoofer, have a signal-sensitive auto-standby feature?
Finally, and this is just a hunch, if you are still using the Plinius Odeon amplifier you mentioned in a post a few months ago you might try changing the setting of its ground-lift switch to the opposite of what it is currently set to. It would be prudent, though, to turn the amp off and wait about 30 to 60 seconds before changing that setting.
