re capping

I hear the phrase 'recapping'. when do you know when you should 're cap' an amplifier? I have a McIntosh mc602 amp that sounds fine to me. I also have a McIntosh mx132 that works ok for me. I also have a bose 901 series 2 active equalizer that seems to work ok. the 'red' on light kinda flashes now and then. if my system sounds ok, should I worry about my units?

minorl perfectly finalized answer to this discussion truly.

If the amp is over 15-20 years old, but the caps appear okay and the amp is operating well, then, it is up to you. I wouldn't replace the caps unless I notice issues or if I had the funds to replace the caps in advance of issues.
