Problem when volume turn up


I have a Cary SLP 05 pre, Cary 500MB amp and paradigm s8 speakers. When I turn up the volume by 1\4, the system cuts off then I turn the system off wait a few minutes and everything works fine. When I play at a moderate volume everything works ok. Any ideas?

Does this occur after playing it for a while or as soon as you turn it on? I am just guessing here, but it sounds like it is going into some sort of thermal overload and is shutting itself down!
Samaba, adjusting the preamp channel controls is really just a balancing act (no pun intended) but it doesn't solve your problem, it only allows you to turn the volume contol further to the right because you decreased the signals to the channels. I hope I am wrong, but I think it is going to happen again, except maybe this time it will be when your volume control may be at 1/6. Just for the hell of it, check to make sure all of your cable connections are secure.
