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.

I have a Classe CA 400 and had the same problem when using a Melos SHA Gold preamp. The preamp was sent to a local guy who found that it was passing DC. He modified the SHA Gold and it solved the problem. Unfortunately this was after the amp went belly up and had to make a trip to Montreal. I would advise you to take action before breaking the amp.
Good luck. John
