Precisely. The chassis is grounded no matter what the position of the ground lift switch. That's the way it's supposed to be done.
What's more disappointing than the revelation of a design flaw is the manufacturers reaction to it. I know that no one wants to hear that their baby is ugly, but the complete denial of wrong doing followed by rightious indignation and accusations of alterior motives is just sad. Not all Gearslutz are idiots.
I don't care how good this stuff sounds. Until they comply with basic safety standards (and it don't get more basic than this) and adjust their attitude toward their customers, I will NEVER bring one of HCLs pieces into my home.
