Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises.
My pinging stops once the amp is warmed up [300C]. It pings a couple of times upon warm-up and cool down though. It's no big deal to me...it kind of lets me know when it is good to go...

John and others -I did one of these [two actually] and am about to start a much more elaborate [and expensive] rack project.I used solid 2" and 4" cherry shelves though [the 4" are just two 2" glued together] and simple 5/8” steel rod because this...
