I don't get a pop from mine, and I turn them on and off with a switch all the time.

what kind of monitors do you have?  are they powered or thru an amp?

I turn everything off when I'm done, but I do turn the main out of my mixer down to -inf first. I bring it back up after everything is turned on. otherwise, I do get a noticeable pop in the headphones, even if I'm not wearing them.
My power amp for the passive monitors(still in Denver) has a soft on, so I don't have to worry about that.

I don't turn the mixer on until the speakers are on, tho.

Hmm. So the pop is coming from the integrated amps when they engage?
It will be interesting to see what the conditioner does.
At least you do not listen at high levels, so the pop, while annoying, may not be enough to cause any damage.

I found this weird computer power conditioner that has 6 switches on it. Each plug on the back is controlled by a switch. They are marked Computer,printer , monitor etc.
It bad to turn stuff off in the wrong order, I always turn my power amp off first.

Bob - yes, the pops come from the amps in the speakers.  they've always done that ever since I have had them.

I'll let you know what happens when I get the power conditioner.  but it may be a couple of weeks, something in my order is on backorder and I told my sweetwater rep to hold all of it until the backorder comes in.  it's due in this week.

i have almost the same identical one..i use it for my speakers,a small desk lamp and a few other misc. things

Yeah, I don't care for the pop either, I always expect to see a piece of the cone fly past my face when it happens. One thing I learned is to power up my computer (laptop) on battery power and then hit the power strip on switch after we are booted up, and there is no popping.

The amplifier or the powered monitors should be the last component you turn on (if it is not possible to turn them all on at the same time). 
If your amp is already on and your audio interface or mixer or phantom power causes a pop, you will hear it, and that is a least annoying.
