Wow, very nice and simple. Is that B22 an engraving?
Yes, β22 is engraved. This build follows the same theme as used in my previous amps: "straight and simple", build pure for music. My aim was to do it a tad better than my previous amps, but to be honest... in a 4-channels amp -without the use of a backplane board- it's really hard to achieve.
The pic above is a quick shot in the evening with quite poor quality, which does not reflect the real charm of the amp (sorry for that). I'm now busy with the casing for the other parts (transformers, AC line filter) which are not included in the amp.

As usual Ferrari very clean and tasteful. The engraving is just right, the knob...perfect and the XLR jacks are also quite nice! I've never seen those particular jacks before. You really have a knack for finding first class hardware, and implementing it perfectly. Well done!
Here are some pics of my almost finished balanced β22.
Still have to wait for some connectors to make the power umbilical for the right channel, but the case work is done!
... and special for naamanf a pic with top cover.

Ferrari, what's the little board on the power supply enclosure, between the two filters?
It appears to be a power supply for the LED. Maybe a little overkill, but why skimp on such a beautifull build.
