Spoke to CJ Service they think it had to do with the chip inside and rebooting it should have solved the problem.
They also said the GAT has been very, very reliable so I will keep my fingers crossed.
Yes the thought and expense in sending back troubled me!
Thanks

I think there are more than a couple of GAT owners on this forum. Just out of curiosity, has any one else experienced any problems?

I do have an opinion on the matter...but risking being labeled as a Heretic, I'd best not comment further. suffice it to say that I absolutely love the SOUND of the GAT.

Default GAT problems
Hi,

My first post though I have been reading for some time.

I have had two GATs in my house for the last six months and both worked perfectly.

My GAT is probably four years old and has been flawless save very rarely getting stuck on the 1 volume setting. Turning it off fixes that rare occurrence and unplugging it for a reboot always resets everything. Even the factory tubes have been reliable. Great product... knocking on wood.

The only issue and not particularly irksome, is that when i knock on the unit I can hear the sound through the speakers, this is with analog and the volume/gain is 65 on the display. Not discernible on cd playback coz the volume rarely crosses 35. OTW the GAT is performing flawlessly. Will contact the seller if he experienced something similar. Should I be concerned ?
Cheers

Sunnyboy more likely an issue of microphony , caused by the tubes in use ....

True but do all GAT owners experience the same microphonics?
Lloyd , our GAT owner friend from London says he gets zilch all sound when he taps on the top plate or even tube cage. Lloyd is into analog.
Curious...
