Capacitor replacement advice anyone?

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

As per comments on this forum that anyone with a vintage unit should replace capacitors, I plan to replace those in my 70's era amp.

I have searched the forum for advice on replacement, but haven't really found what I'm looking for.

So, where to start? And how to tell which ones need to be replaced? All of them? Or are there some that are more likely to need replacement?

Also there have been conflicting bits of advice as to re-soldering components. What does one look for to decide if that should be done?

The amp is a Denon DRA-1025R, if that helps at all.

Thanks in advance.
