Popping Sound From TT


It seems every time I remove a record from the platter there is a loud popping noise coming from the speakers. At first it was not too bad but now that I have upgraded my phone pre amp, it's louder and I’m afraid that I can blow a speaker, if I don’t remember to lower the volume or change inputs. Like I said this only happens when I remove the record. In fact I can just wave the record around the turn table and still get this popping.

If you ground the table to the phono amp / preamp, it should go away. Have you tried this?
I agree with Dan_ed. Also, if you're using a felt mat you might try something else - I switched from felt to a Ringmat on one tt and a Herbie's mat on another - - both helped reduce static charges quite a bit.
I grounded the turn table to the phone pre-amp and the problem went away thanks all.
What might happen, now that you've grounded the table to the phono amp, is that you will no longer have the big static problem, but you may get a pop when you turn the table motor on and off. I haven't figured out how to fix that one, yet.

Cheers.
