Bonjour JP
Peut-être le distributeur Français a suggéré que John serait le meilleur premier contact?

where are the accents on this software?? Use charmap (Win-R charmap) on a Windows machine. |

Hold the Win (Windows logo) key down and press R, then type charmap and Enter.

OK. I've just spoken to Matthew. Let me do this first in English while its fresh in my mind, and then I'll try a PM in French (maybe after the last tax return is in).
Matthew said there had been correspondence, including about a Dac, and he apologised if it wasn't resolved. Busy time of year. Language issues. He had suggested contacting Gilles at their French distributors ("L'exception Musicale") - because they are best placed to deal with the issues in French!!
Regarding the ticking noise on power-up - he feels it is not a problem, and agrees that there is no benefit in sending it back to be checked, and providing it remains constant and doesn't deteriorate, and you are happy it is not affecting the performance of the amplifier, then there is no need to take action. The probable cause is the heatsinks inside the amplifier warming up - particularly for the small transistors which quite rapidly reach a temperature of 100-150 degrees. The heatsinks are made of different metals, and expand and contract at different rates, and therefore a very faint ticking as the amplifier warms up would not be exceptional.
If I have understood your French properly, he was not quite sure about the ticking problem being caused by "touching the porthole". There were a couple of possibilities - but again , the basic advice was "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", and if it isn't affecting the amplifiers performance (that you can hear) and isn't deteriorating, then don't worry about it (and stop touching the amp, if you don't want to hear the noise!). There is a ring of LED's apparantly which can get hot, and there is a metal mesh cover which could creak when touched, but I think the language issues means if you are concerned about this, it may be best to speak to Gilles first.
But - in summary - if it is working, and not affecting your use and enjoyment, and not getting worse, don't worry about it. Its probably just normal thermal expansion.

Merci beaucoup pour tout ce que vous avez fait Richard , de vous etes déplacé etc ...
donc pas d'inquiétudes à avoir seulement ces tic tac sont de la dilatation thermique et la grille des craquements quand on la touche ( èviter de faire cela donc ! )
Quand au ressault rien ne nécessite un déplacement de l'ampli ,
la seule chose qui est étrange c'est pourquoi sur l'autre ampli il n'y a rien , peut etre parce qu'ils ne sont pas identiques ?
Me voila rassuré et je ne sais comment vous remercier .
Merci a tous les autres membres du forum
A bientot Jean-Paul

Au sujet de l'autre ampli, il m'avais explique que les metals utilises pour les "heat sinks" peuvent etre differents dans les models differents, et qu'il ne s'agit que des tres petits mouvements dans ces pieces. Je vous en prie  |

Have you ever seen or heard any of the really big Chords like the SPM-12000 or 14000 Martin?

I've heard the 14000 monoblocks, Chris, but can't say anything meaningful about them as it was the standard Chord demo with dreadful speakers. I'd love to hear them in my system but couldn't afford them anyway!

I stumbled across an old magazine review of the 12000 the other day, hence the question.
