You need to replace the two big power supply main rail filter cans and maybe any other electrolytic type caps in the amp.

After just even replacing those main rail filters you will find it makes a far better bass amp!

The worst thing in the world you can do to these filters is just have the amp sit around unused!

That safety start up circuit can not work once the power is turned off, if it could, then yes you would not hear that power down pop.
