Is this a Tim Rawson build? As it is only 2 months old, is he building Pass amps for people again, maybe by request?

Not trying to stir the pot. Just curious about the amp and the builder.

It looks like Rawson's.

This was built by Rawson in the last 6 months.  I bought it directly from him.

It works perfectly and sounds excellent. 

It does run hot and I have two little ones so I am offering it for sale on AC before posting for sale on Audiogon.


I will try to work on the interior pics Jim.  It is really clean layout and excellent build quality.  High quality components and massive transformer.


Serious buyers only please. 


I would appreciate if questions and offers could be made via PM to keep the thread clean and discussion on topic.  Thanks!
