Why did my amp just crash and burn ?

I just installed a new set of AQ Robin Hood Zero cables. A little hiss sound from the speakers prompted me to adjust the spade connecters just a little on the amp. Then low and behold , the amp just cuts off and currently appears dead as a doornail. 

What just happened and needless to say this is an absolute bummer.

Sorry,  thought you new cables were interconnects not speaker wire, should have read more thoroughly

No music playing at the time . Can you elaborate on "DC on the the amp outputs"?

@larryi Has it right I was going to post the same thing your spades touched together you should be fine once you get a new fuse in there.

Does the YBA have rail fuses?

These would be inside the chassis.

@gdnrbob The manual says fuse is located on the mains socket.
