popping noise


When I turn on and power off my system I get a popping noise out of the speakers. Sound is great when playing, just when coming on and off. Is this a problem with the amp, preamp or speakers? Is their a fix's for this short of buying a new speaker, amp or preamp?
Thanks for the help

To add to the above responses.
On startup allow a minute before turning on the amp. This will allow equipment upstream to settle down.

On system shutdown turn volume down on preamp,
turn off amp,
wait at least a minute for power supply caps to bleed off,
then turn off preamp and input source/s.

You could also check to make the amp is not causing a pop by turning on the amp only, wait about 10 minutes and then turn off the amp. You should not hear a pop.
This happen quite often with Integrated amp.
I think the sequence go like this :

ON: Cd player 1st, Preamp and then Amp.
Off : Amp 1st, preamp and then CD player.
