Hello everybody,
Surfing the web, I have been very surprised to discover that there exist two different Pass Aleph 0 versions......
The first one, that seems me to be the real one :
- has his screws on the exterior of the panel
- has no switch button for RCA/XLR mode
The second one, that I think it to be a fake :
- has its screws on the interior of the panel
- has a switch button for RCA/XLR mode
I think the second one is a fake, because nothing, in the docs you can find in the Pass Lab site, specifies the existence of such a second version......
What is your opinion about that ?
Does someone know the existence of such a second version ?
I am very perplexed about that......

Thanks a lot for your kind response Mr Pass.
At first, I really didn't expect a response for the amplifiers from their own creator..... so it has been a good surprise, and a pleasure to read it.........
At second (since I get the opportunity), I would just thank your very much for your amplifiers : they are the bests I have ever heard !!!
And since I got one of them.......my life is better.
Thanxs !!!

The "fake" is not mine, and is actually currently on ebay.
At the moment, it is not really expensive, since it is about around 2000$.
The problem is that many things look strange :
- as Nelson remarks : output connectors have been changed : the seller tells me that the original ones where not as good as Eichman's connectors, so he changes them. Very strange, I don't knowPass original connectors to be bad.
- the original paper certificate, with Nelson signature, has disappear
(how can you loose a certificate of an amplifier that costed around 15000$ here in Europe ?)
- the "filter self" have been changed, by the local Pass responsible, according to the selle
I probaly won't bid for that thing, because I think too many things are strange, and i'm scared that many internal things might not correspond to the original one.
So if you want to buy a cheap "fake" Aleph 0.......please do unit
PS: it's a 220/240V
