    audible pop

    I currently listen to JBL Olympus with McIntosh MC240 as the power and McIntosh C22 as the tube preamp.
    Now, all good except for the audible pop through the speakers when I turn off the power amp, with C22 on, first after listening.
    The pop is very brief & sharp (NOT from woofers, etc).
    I tried different preamps like JBL SG520 and McIntosh C24, but I don't any pop, fortunately.
    So, clearly there must be something wrong with C22, though all its functions work alright.
    On googling on this, I see something like a DC current leak or bad capacitors, etc of the preamp.
    Before I take it to the tech shop, I'd like to ask for your opinion or solution, as usual.
    Thanks much for your feedback in advance.

    Hi,

    hard to discern as the MC-240 schematics that is available from elektrotanya.com doesn't show any mains switch at all?!?

    Do you have a voltage meter that allows you to measure possible leakage voltages at the C-22's output?

    What happens if you turn the MC-240's volume controls fully ccw?

    Best regards!
