Default Sansui Receiver- Noise at shutdown

Paul wrote:
I have a Sansui R-7 receiver which works fine except that when the
power is turned off there is usually a fairly loud click from the
speakers. Does not seem to be loud enough to harm the speakers, but
certainly annoying, and not at all what I would consider normal.

This is a low to mid power receiver which I'm guessing is from the
late 80's. It is an instant-on unit with no relays. There was a
place for a capacitor accross the power switch, but none was ever
installed. I added a .01 disc there, but that did not help.
Following wires from the line cord thru the switch to the power
transformer, I do not see any other line conditioning or surge
suppression. I can't believe it always had this problem. Any ideas
as to the cause?

Thanks,
Paul


Probably not much you can do except switch off the speakers before you turn
the unit off.
