7 Channel Amp

My brand new Cary 7.250 will not work in my apartment. It keeps shutting down after I turn it on. I then tried it in my brother’s house only to replicate the same problem. I returned to Cary only to have them say it works fine. They returned to me and it still shuts down on first boot. I have tried two different power cords and two separate and different outlets. I am giving up on this amp.

So I need to find a great 7 channel amp. I have a Theta Casablanca III pre-pro. What do you think?

Seems I spoke to soon. The amp works fine everywhere but my apartment. Seems I have bad electricity and everyone is scratching their head as how to fix it. So far the only fix i have had is to use a 50' extension cord. More info to follow. Cary has been very helpful.

The amp works fine everywhere but your apartment, and your brothers house, or does it now work fine there as well?

This is getting interesting. The amp works fine at Cary's facility, fine at my friends apartment and fine at his place of work. It not works fine in my Apartment if you use a 50foot extension cord?????? What is going on?

Could it be bad extension cord or bad outlet? Make sure your outlet is probably grounded and rated enough for the amp in term of current drawn. If it shutdown after being turn on, something is getting shorted and I don't think it's your amp.
