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.

why dont you have the amp tested to see if there is a issue with it before changing something that might not be needed. seems like the 20 yr rule on the large storage caps came about by someone who told you they might need replacing ?????? it would again be cheaper to locate a local repair shop( one that deals in quality products would be best) and tell them the situation. they should be able to help you .
