Pass Aleph 5c amplifier - hum on both channels

Good day peeps

I have a Pass Aleph 5c kit amplifier on the bench of a friend.

It has an unacceptable high hum on the speaker outputs.

There is virtually zero DC offset. Grounding was done according to all the tried and tested theories (including referencing to Douglas Selfs writings).

The hum is present when the inputs are shorted and also when the ground is lifted.

Any pointers...?
