Power cable shutting amp down


I just put in a JPS Power AC+ and it seems to be overheating the amp. I've swapped in the Shunyata Python and that does not do this. I've put the JPS on the preamp when I do this?

Anyone heard of this behavior.... stock cable seems fine. You think this is a bad cable?

If componant parts are manufactured to a tolarance of +- 5% and speced to +-7%. The IEC male could be minus all the way to its extreme tolerance and still spec good. One cable could measure to the minus limit and the other to the plus limit. You could end up with a zero fit or a 15% loose fit and still be within limit. Not too confidence building is it ? ? ?
Good for JPS! I think they also realize the potential liability of a bad AC cable.
my amp (McCormack 225) has a heat sensor that shuts the amp down... It has now done it with the Shunyata. Could it be the power? Not sure if surges could do this. Would the answer be to get a power conditioner?

I am having the amp shipped to Jim McCormack anyways for upgrades.
I found my house ground is not connected to the grounding rod. I am going to connect this back up. Must have been messed up by a utility guy checking the meters. Oof. Hope this is the fix.
