I've noticed a slightly out of time from one side to the other, soft turn-off pop with my SS amp. My guess would be, that it relates to different rates of discharge with capacitors. Capacitors have quite a wide + and - specified range up to 20%, though for most applications the variability is not significant.
The slight time lapse would support this idea. Most components work instantaneously but you'll notice, in many situations, that when you switch a piece of equipment off, the LED indicator will stay alight for some seconds as the capacitor discharges.
