Yesterday I traded in my Bryston 7BSST2's and upgraded to a second hand pair of Bryston 28BSST2's. I got them home, plugged them in, and the music flowed. Lovely!
With it being Valentine's eve yesterday I only had an hour or so with them before I went out for dinner with the other love in my life. As this is new electrical equipment (in my house anyway) for safety's sake I turned the amps off before we left the house.
This morning I popped back upstairs to turn them back on. Clunk! The circuit breaker on the amp had tripped, along with the mains circuit breaker for the dedicated spur to my power amps. I reset both and tried again only for the same thing to happen. I tried the other amp which fired up fine once or twice but which is now doing the same as the other amp and is tripping itself/the mains. To summarise I cannot turn my amps on without them both tripping themselves and the mains.
Any ideas anybody? The spur to the amps is dedicated only to them, the hard wired cables are 2.5mm Supra LoRad, and the circuit breaker is a 20A Type B.
Could this be the initial hard startup current draw tripping my circuit, or is it more likely a fault with the amps? Thanks. G
