RE: PrimaLuna Classic integrated amp any good?

Mcjohn-

Your comment regarding coupling caps caught my attention.

My Dialogue HP is long off warranty, and I've been curious what internal tweaks would make this fine amp even better. Is identifying these caps obvious WITHOUT a schematic?

And, is it a simple matter of identifying the value, and purchasing a high end cap, remove and replace?

I'm wondering if some critical parts were replaced with super premium pieces, would it elevate the HP even more? I am aware replacing parts doesn't automatically guarantee higher performance.
