What an incredible design, and incredibly beautiful, both inside and out. Words cannot describe the neatness and clean cut lines of that case, and the sheer craftsmanship that went into the internals.
I seriously doubt you could find another amp that looks nearly as good as this.
I bet it will sound twice as good too!

It's fantastic that not only will krmathis get an amazing new amp, but other headfiers near him will get to share the pleasure.
The gift that keeps on giving

Yeah, any Head-Fi'er in my area will be free to drop by for a look and audition. Or attend one of the future local Head-Fi meetings, cause I am sure there will be more of them.
Can't wait!

Excellent, excellent build - definitely one to be proud of.
Can a builder elaborate on how the four knob-illuminating LEDs are secured to the front panel?

Or build a better-looking β22/σ22 duo and have your own party. 
I know that it’s more or less a “mission impossible”, but it’s on my to do list.
Actually that build is on going...

The 6mm thick front panel has a 0.1" deep round cavity milled into the center volume knob position, slightly larger than the knob itself. Within the cavity, there is a center hole for the shaft extension panel bearing, as well as four 2.9mm holes for the LEDs. A 0.1" thick clear acrylic round disc, 0.01" smaller than the cavity, is sanded to have a "frosted" appearance. This disc also has a center hole for the panel bearing. The acrylic disc is fitted into the panel cavity, and fastened by the panel bearing nut. The four LEDs are inserted into the holes from behind the panel and secured with super glue. Their leads are shortened and Molex plugs are used to connect them.

Did you guys use FPE's 6 or 8mm panels? It looks thicker than the 4mm ones I've used.

But if (one of) the LEDs is defect in the long run, how can we replace it? Or ... is the used glue relative easy to remove?
