Just a note... I own a D90 (orig w/6550s) and if I recall
the D115 was made in (more or less) the same era. I just purchased/installed the cap upgrade from Audio Research and it was well worth it. I had no idea what I was missing... As an EE and former tech, I still have problems thinking that it would make that much difference, but the fact is that either of these amps run pretty warm and power supply caps will have a degraded lifespan (avg 20-30+ years gets cut down to more like 15+)... I am driving B&W N804s with no problems and lots of reserve power so I can not imagine the 115 not having enough.
Just my $0.02.
