You probably don't need to change the caps unless you just want to play with your iron. I have never seen a Ti amp have caps go bad yet (for the reasons the ZX and other old PG amps do). I have seen a Ti with bad caps due to abuse, but it was some serious abuse.

That's cool. I really didn't want to change them but didn't want to risk anything. And the how to section doesnt have anything on changing the ZX caps... other than repairing bad holes while replacing.
