as I said, some amount of maintenance is obviously recommended, but randomly replacing things is a really poor way to fix an amp. proper diagnosis will save you time and money every time.
if the electrolytic do need to be replaced they're not going to blow up in the time it takes us to diagnose the actual problem, but if #9 replaces all of the electrolytic caps, and makes a minor error when doing so, and the other problems still persist, then things get really funky. not only do we still have to diagnose the original problems, we have to figure out why the other problem exists and if its related to the first problem or not.
don't mix up maintenance and repair. do repairs first, then maintenance that way you don't end up blowing up things you just replaced.
