Hail Santa
I have a pair of Tascam VL-X5s, I believe they are discontinued?
Anyway, everytime I turn them on I get a loub popping/cracking sound and same the when I turn them off.

How do I stop this from happened?
and
Is will this ruin the moniter?

Thanks all.
 
I'll bet that it's the ON/OFF switches that have gotten dirty.
 
I also have a pair of VL-X5s (and very nice they are too).

To prevent this kind of popping I believe the units have a power-on signal muting relay switch. My guess would be that this is stuck in the "ON" position. When you turn the units on there should initially be no sound followed a few seconds later by an audible click - do you hear this?
 
Idk mine when I turn the power switch on, on the back of them, they kind of pop. And then they continue to buzz a little bit like a guitar amp that is on, when not being used. Im not sure what is supposed to be normal for moniters. and when i turn them of there is a little crack noise followed by a reverse sucking sound.

That sounds like a faulty me. Mine are completely silent apart from the aforementioned click. I guess the warranty has expired?
