re capping


I hear the phrase 'recapping'. when do you know when you should 're cap' an amplifier? I have a McIntosh mc602 amp that sounds fine to me. I also have a McIntosh mx132 that works ok for me. I also have a bose 901 series 2 active equalizer that seems to work ok. the 'red' on light kinda flashes now and then. if my system sounds ok, should I worry about my units?

Cap and Recap were riding on a horse. 🐎 Cap fell off. Who was left?
Hey, same thing happened to the Quonset hut full of Volkswagen size non oil-filled capacitors the US Navy replaced oil-filled capacitors with on that secret communications project back in the 80s. They exploded. Of course the millions watts might have had something to do with it.  Lesson learned. 🤠
