Hi Syd-- I can confirm that the school's unit has
it too. Sounds like a switching snap. Probably
the headphone amp getting juice don't you think?
Do send an email to Tech Support and let them
know it bothers you. They will get to correcting
it. Many factors to tend to in making something
as ambitious as the 722. Did you ever use a
Nagra? Now there's some popping! Rob D.
