I have recently purchased a set of NVA A80 amps, I. would love to know what they look like inside, has anyone got any pictures?
No they won't shatter at all. The glue that Richard uses is something like UHU and they are remarkably easy to take the lids off. All you need is a sharp thin knife and a bit of common sense. You simply ease the knife under the lid and wiggle it along each side until it just lifts off. I have had most of my NVA gear apart just to look inside just out of curiosity. The latest A 80 mono's are quite tidy inside compared to those piccy's, not yer Naim standard I agree, but nothing to weep about.
that first link was a proto I believe, not representative of production builds.
