MY CD PLAYER MAKES A POPPING SOUND AT TURN ON

[WJGJ]

Hello folks,
I purchased a Marantz CD6007 CD player.
When I turn it on there's a moderately loud popping sound coming from the right speaker, one time only.
Also, when I turn off the player there is a milder popping sound emanating from both speakers.
The player has 2 filters, and when set to filter 2 the pops are even stronger.
The player seems to work fine after that.
The first 2 or 3 times of use this did not happen.
I have made sure there are no loose connections of any AC cord or interconnect.
Is this something serious?
Any recommendations how to fix this?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Turn on the CD player before the pre-amp and amp, turn off the pre-amp and amp before turning off the CD player.

That is a real sign of declining standards. The fact a unit gets turned out with a careless fault like that is a disgrace. If that is the sort of quality they are sending out, Heaven knows what the rest of it is like.

I would send it back and get something else. The is a sign that unit is "mutton dressed up a lamb".

I agree with TLS Guy. Typically, this is an issue with cheap phono amps, like the Schitt Mani. But even higher quality separates are best turned on/off in order of preamp turned on first and preamp turned off last to preclude popping. The popping can cause damage to equipment. My Schitt Mani, destroyed my Sony TA-E9000ES Preamp. Yes, the Mani is indeed a piece of poop from Schitt. At any rate, source components should never pop when turned on or off, so get your player fixed or replaced.

I find that unit cost nearly $800.00. I would bet it is a fancy case filled with the same parts as $75.00 or cheaper player.

No doubt. Interestingly enough, I just inherited a Marantz NR1200 2.1 Receiver, which I am using as a 2.1 preamp. I think it sells for $650. In comparison and contrast to my 2.1 Parasound P6 Preamp/DAC, which has virtually the same functionality as the Marantz, the Marantz delivers as nicely to the power amplification as the Parasound does. At any rate, I still remember the lousy Marantz gear I purchased back in the mid seventies which soured me on the brand. Now, I just might re-consider their second tier Pre-Pro, since it's a long shot that my Sony Pre-Pro can be repaired.

If you can, send it back and get a Sony UBP-X800m2. You would have the advantage of being able to also play DVDs, Blu-rays and even SACDs and some DVD-Audio discs.

It's no use spending monies on a CD player when you can get a good affordable Blu-ray player that can play CDs better than any CD player.

Yes, of course the Sony is ideal; yet, having no internal DAC it would need to be connected to a DAC via HDMI for SACD pleasure. Connected to an AVR or Pre-pro, 5.1 SACDs could be enjoyed. Still, for less than $600 the OP could buy the Sony UBP-X1100ES which does have an internal DAC to process CDs and stereo SACDs for RCA output. BTW, I recently inherited a UBP-X800 II which I connected to a Marantz NR 1200 via HDMI. I am overall pleased but data disc, network and thumb drive do not support gapless play. All of my Hybrid SACDs and CDs do play gaplessly so not a big deal.

Of course the Sony has an internal dac, what are you on about?

I have the same (NR 1200) and m using it the same way. I'll be very curious if you move up from this because as much as I like it, I know I'll want to start looking for an upgrade sooner or later. Probably sooner if I get an itch...

I've got to tell ya the Parasound was/is my means for all analog and digital media processing: delivering black as coal backgrounds at high volume and nuanced detail at low volume for fatigue free natural sounding music from acoustic instruments and vocals. Just by accident did I discover the Marantz could deliver virtually the same experience from its preamp section to my power amplification. Thus, if I was in your shoes I'd put all of my discretionary money into speakers and appropriate amplification to power them.

Late responding, but thanks... I'm sure you're right. Just something in my head tried to convince me no matter how much I think I like the little bugger (NR1200) that it can't be mated to my ultimate preference Forte IV's. It's irrational but my mind goes $700 >> $5k that can't be right...
