Hi. I am using one of these little amps while my main hifi amp (Vintage Toshiba sc-330) is out of action and awaiting repair.
I am concerned that when I switch this thing on and off the cones on my speakers pop and the bass drivers move slowly back and forth by a considerable amount.
The speakers in question are Wharfdale E50, lovely old things, not something I want to damage (naturally!).
Is this sort of speaker come movement and popping anything to be concerned about?
I know there are some modifications that can improve the performance of these Lepai amp's and I'm aware of the modification thread. However its a massive thread and mentions all sorts of modifications. I don't know if any of the mods would help with the problem Im experiencing or now?
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you .

Bypassing the op-amps for volume and tone (especially volume, since tone can be defeated) drastically reduces turn on thump.

I don't know about your model but the 2092 based class d amps have a reset capacitor.
However if you start to use very large decoupling then clicks, pops and siren type sounds can occur.
I found the only way around it was to add a small microcontroller that detected when power supply volts were low and held the 2092 in reset.
