Classe CA-400 amp trips


I just bought a BAT 30SE Pre-amp(used)and I believe it's causing my Classe CA-400 amp to trip- green blinking lights comes on from the normal stationary red after playing the CD for half a hour or so.
I had been using a Krell RC-2 previously and never had any problem. Addtionally, I have a B&W N802's, Cary 306 CD player.
Any expert Audiogoner out there? Please help. Thanks.

Happy Holidays to everyone.

this is going to sound strage but this happen to me once (i have classe cam monos and a bat vk30) and it occured when i was wearing slippers that cause static electricity.

i touched the cd player and it caused the pre to shut down and turned back on and the amps to go into protection..

sounds strange but it does happen with a build up of static electricity..
That slipper might have been worth something.
I'm trying a lot of things at this point - repositioning the units, switching interconnects (b/w VeraStarr, Synergistic Research). At first, I thought there was a loose connection but I disconnected each one and plugged them back a thousand times - didn't work.
This minor type of problem should not be happening in a high end expensive audio world.
My last option would be to waste my time sending the BAT 30SE back and take a blood pressure pill without a tune for a week or so.

John, you are absoluting right, such a nuisance as your experiencing is frustrating and shouldn't happen. Good luck.
i think you are lucky...bat and classe service and turn around is first rate...

to ship, repair, and return ship in 30 -45 days is $%&*$$%@# incredible imo.

had a cd player repaired 2 times and it was gone 6 months out of the 8 month ownership. the dealer ordered me a new one.

one of my classe cam mono's went in for minor repair(dealer wanted one of the amp rebaised before i bought it- came back within 30 days from canada)

i have a preamp(bought used) sent out for upgrade and havent got it back yet ( i sent it back in february 04). i hope the upgrade will be worth the wait. in the meantime i bought a demo bat vk30 from my local dealer and really, really like the unit. needless to say i now look at the repair turnaround of any product and i really, really try to buy from my local dealer. the repairs go fast and i get a loaner in the process.

alot has to be be said for quick repair, though it is painful. i think 30 days is friggin incredible.
