Slick,
With all due respect, I would suggest you speak for yourself.
I don't care how good the amp is. I don't care how well it sounds between the time it is powered on and off. The pop IS loud on BOTH my Peavey NV 400's, and is very objectionable to me, and IMHO, should never have left the design prototype stage, until the cause AND cure was found.

Peavy "pop"?

Blake has the right idea. It's there, but the Nashville 400 is out of production and although the pop is there it doesn't seem to have any harmful affects so there's no use losing sleep over it.
I like Peavey products, but many seem to be "built to a price". I know Mike Brown doesn't like to hear it, but things like the amp pop, molex connectors or the excessive heat in the Transtube Fex (because they did not allow for adequate ventilation) would not be there.

Bear in mind here.....
If "Peavey" decides to look at the 'pop" or not, any cure at the OEM stage is going to add to the cost of the amp.
A R/C fix (in my opinion) would be the way to go as cost would be less than a relay system. Plus relays do have a habit of switching contacts gettin' dirty. MTBF beween the two fixes leans toward the R/C system as it has no moveing parts, coils,contacts or such.
As we talk about our desire to get rid of this annoyance, don't look for a fast fix by anyone,Company or whoever in the near future. I am sure it will be incorperated in the next generation or two of audio equipment, but retrofit of present day gear will be too costly and time comsumming.
