Hallo,

I have a question to all tube-amp and Dared specialists.
After heraring a lot of tube-amps an experiences with a Dynavox VR-70, I decided to buy a Dared VP-845. I can only afford a used one so I bought a used VP-845 of a seller in Malaysia. He promised me it´s a European version with a CE sign.
After a while I received my VP-845, the CE sign is on the amp but after a check with a multimeter I diagnosed theat the ground cable isn´t connected. I opened the amp and saw that all ground cables are inside but only the contact of the socket isn´t connected.
Now I have the question, where have I to connect the socket?
At the screw of the chassis or maybe at the board next to the contact?
Here are some pictures from the inside or does anybody have a picture of a correct grounded VP-845?
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Here is the inside of my Dared 845.

A little different inside than yours, but similar. My ground is connected to the chassis.

Hallo John,

thank you very much.
Ist it possible to send me the picture in a bigger version.
Especialy the area of the input socket and the grounding of the chassis?
I can´t understand that my chassis is grounded but it isn´t connected to the socket.
Could be the consequence grounding noise?

Thank you for your help.

Andreas.
