From what I can see there is still no mains earth connection from the IEC to the chassis. As others have patiently pointed out this must be a direct connection to the metal casework as without it a fault can KILL. I have no idea how this Rawson guy has not had his *** sued by Pass Labs or someone else. From the number of these pieces of sh*t floating around on every audio sale site and ebay it's clear that he is building small commercial volumes of these things, regardless of his DIY premise. This behavior gives our entire community a bad name. I'd have some choice words if I ever came face to face with this clown.
It's not a Pass amp. It's an ugly and outright dangerous attempt copying a published design, a design that was intended for non commercial use for the DIY community, and from the looks of it even the pcb's are knockoffs of the community design. The amplifier in question must have been assembled hastily and unskillfully, disregarding most basic safety guidelines.
It's not a clone, it's not to be associated with the brand name Pass and these forums should not be used to barter or to attempt to mend this crap, because it gives anyone involved a bad rep.
