For anyone interested in how the Nirvana looks on the inside, I had a rare opportunity to grab this snapshot:

Was it repair, upgrade or curiosity?

Certainly looks busy with all the capacitors for the power supply!

The 1/4” connector was spotty, ended up being just a hit of cleaning needed that’s all (so no repair). But requires opening by a pro shop since it has a special European lock on it. So was a chance to see how it looks on the inside. They were all very impressed but the quality of the components (a high end shop in NYC).

I noticed on the bottom there is a red cap that covers a screw and guessed that was some sort of security thing. You’d have to brake it to get in and void any guarantee I’d imagine. I should really give mine a spin again… it’s been a month or so mow!

Yes meant to prevent normal people from opening it up…:wink:

Ooh, that makes me wonder about capacitor rolling on this thing, which for some reason I had not given even a passing thought to until you mentioned the word "capacitor".

Anyone know what are the specs on the unit's coupling caps, by any chance?

I rolled the caps on my previous tube amp, and found it to be a very fun and rewarding experience.

It's been a year (or more) with the Siemens 5814A, and I may have finally found something worthy rolling in its stead for a while: Mazda Belvu Cifte 12AU7 1960s

getting to know it, but it's pretty awesome, recommend a try (make sure it's the genuine French tube that was made for only a short period; there’s a vendor in Italy who has a large batch and they are affordable)
