Forgot to mention that after 5 mins from cold start up the ticking noise just suddenly stopped on both speakers simutaleously...Also it's a very faint ticking noise that I couldn't even capture it with my iphone sticking next to the drivers.
If I leave the units on till the noise stops, then switch off the main, then swtich the units back on, I could not hear any noise. It only happens when the units are swtich on from completely cold (discharged??).
No other issues other then the ticking noise. They sound great as usual.
I just noticed it as I was planning to sell them so I removed my current amps and powered on the Aesthetix monos to make sure everything's fine. It could have been happening for a while as the ticking noise is so faint so I didn't notice it before? or because the monos were in standby when not used. I only switched off the mains if I do not plan to use them for an extended time (e.g. traveling overseas)
The monos are hybrid amps with one 6sn7 in each channel.

LOL...no silly things done or noticed.
I'm really baffled here...
