Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback?

Recently I installed a 20A DB for my dedicated room with 2 outlets - One outlet goes into a Shunyata Cylcop serving the Parasound JC-1 and the other into another Cyclop for the front electonics.

I noticed that there are occasions when BOTH the Parasound amps will go into standby mode (RED light) for about 1-2 secs before powering on again (BLUE light). During this time, the front end electronics are still functioning.

Since both amps are experiencing the same thing, then it means that this may have something to do with the electricity? Else a problem with the preamp? Again, I must say this does not happen very often but a nice solution will be great indeed!

Thanks for the advice.

To Rayooo: I'm using a pair of 12V trigger to turn on the amps and the selection on the rear panel is correct.

To Essentialaudio:

Outlet 1-> Shunyata Cyclop-> Parasound JC-1s
Outlet 2-> Shunyata Cyclop-> Nagra PL-L, TT motor power supply, CDP

Of course, Outlets 1 & 2 are from the same power point.

Turning on sequence: Nagra PL-L -> Parasound JC-1 -> Turntable Power Supply

So, it might be a problem with the preamp or the power-on sequence?

I bought a pair of walwart 12V power supplies for he JC-1. I have set them power up in such a way that one lags the other by about 12 secs.

Meanwhile, I have started with the recommended powering-on sequence - so far so good. I need to monitor for a longer period of time. Pray this works. Will come back with an update - positive one I hope! Thanks all!
