Replacing caps in Audio Research, help


Has anyone experience in replacing or upgrading parts in an older ARC amp. I have a D250mkii and was told it may be time to replace the caps.
I don't mind using a soldering iron, but I'm not sure what caps would be the the best to use or exactly which ones would be the most fundamental to change.
The amp sounds really nice but I think it is almost 20 years old and it could be time.
I know I've heard great things about Great Northern Sound but it's a pretty pricey move and also the shipping would be just plain silly.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

alun, if you can mail me a clean schematic diagram, I'll be happy to help.

From the ARCDB, I see 9 'lytic caps in the PS, some film-types on the PS board, and 8 couplers per channel. Recapping this monster won't be inexpensive, but you knew that when you bought it, didn't you?!?! ... :-)
