Recapping your amp

I was wondering how you would know its time for a recap on your amp. Even when it sounds fine and the caps are not bulging or leaking.

Prior to that, you may hear a softening of the sound (transients and mid to lower bass). If the amp is running and sounds normal, leave it alone.
