Tripping Breakers

I have a musical fidelity KW500 that trips a 20 amp (dedicated curcuit/12 gauge wire/hospital receptacle) the instant the power switch is pushed. I have checked everything I can think of that could cause it (hookup is fine). Everything else about the system and circuit is unchanged and has worked for years. When it did turn on before it sounded great and played without tripping the breaker. Anybody else have this problem? If so what was it? Your help is appreciated. Chris.

Are you sure that you did not add a lamp or some other electrical consumer to the circuit? I was having a similar problem until I put in dedicated lines. In another room every time my wife turned on a few lights, I threw the breaker because I was pulling to many amps.

Here is to dedicated lines and great music.
