This is typical for older equipment (and even not so old equipment). When the main power supply capacitors dry out, they will lose the ability to hold capacitance. This is where that line voltage hum comes from. This in itself is not damaging, but it is just very annoying and you will probably have weak sound (no bass and weak midrange, etc.).
That being said, it is also a symptom that the separator/spacer material between the aluminum foil in the capacitor can be wearing thin. If this wears down to nothing, you can have a hard failure because it creates a "short" between voltage and ground. This can be a small failure of the capacitor itself or it can end up being a catastrophic failure that takes out a large portion of your equipment.
So better get those old caps replaced!
