Importance of recapping a SS amp?


I have an Odyssey Stratos power amp that I purchased new in 2000. It has been suggested that it should be recapped just because of its age. I've not detected any sonic decline. Is this considered standard practice with a solid state amp of this age? When I've googled it, most of hits concern vintage tube amps.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks again for all of the responses. The amp has been used fairly regularly over the year so unless some sonic issues arise, I will likely sit tight for now.

Thanks for the advice. There are certainly other things I can spend the money on.

'Again, Odyssey can best advise you what to do.'

Actually, it was Klaus at Odyssey who recommended this. I have had only good experiences dealing with him over the years but wondered what the conventional wisdom was, if any. As with many issues with this hobby, opinions appear mixed.

'It never is but, as you say, he's so used to the gradual decline he can't hear it.'

My hearing has probably declined in synch with the amp.:)
