If my memory is still ok, Krell at one time started to use goldplated beryllium bars.
Same style as ML did with the 23.

Most of the terminal blocks used in U.S. built amplifiers are cadimium plated brass. All of my hardware is always stainless steel, some of it gets kind of expensive but no corrosion and it always looks nice. I doubt that anyone here could hear any difference between using stainless, copper, or brass hardware on power supply capacitors or any other electrical part of an amplifier.

They look like brass because of the yellow furniture around the amp reflecting on the steel bus. 😉
Nice pics neychi,
If those are the newer ML's they look very commercial.
At least on the second photo bus bars look like alu with brass screws. But reality might be different. 🙄

When ML started with these door-to-door bus bars the nuts that hold the screws were soldered on the bars.
I can't tell from the posted pictures how the nuts are attached, if ML still uses the same technique it's very unlikely that the bars are made of aluminium.
Amusing to see ML left aluminium transformer pans and went to galvanised steel.
No. 33H Monaural Power Amplifier:
The efficiency of the power distribution system is enhanced by the use of tinned, oxygen-free copper bus bars that are far superior to PC board traces or point-to-point wiring.

Neychi's pictures are of the 33 and 33H

Absolutely. And if you have the luxury of buying one JUMP on it.
I have listened to the 33 and 33H's in more than 10 different show rooms around the world in "reference" systems and 2 lengthy sessions in one home.
The 33H is my favorite amplifier although I have NOT had a chance to hear the Halcro (quit traveling for my job).

Well guys you sure know.
The circuit shown at the site are impresive. I liked those bus bars at the output, wonder what material are they using. Product integration is amazing....

Can you mail the board house for the drill sizes in their standard rack please? I can't find the copy I got from them and choosing a standard size might lead to less grief/expense for the rework.

Looking good Walter, how many amps will that lot make?
