Stock or go to Upgrade Ave?


Hi folks,
I've just recently spotted my amp being hummy as if it's a ground loop. The hum is loud at minimum volume setting of a preamp and it goes higher when the volume is turned up.
After listening to other components through the headphones, there's no humm so the amp is the culprit and guilty on all charges.
As I'm opening the box of my Sunfire SRA, I spot immediately DC filter cap leaks on at least 2 and tapping or other smaller DC caps would cause the humm increase or noise.
So far I've ID'd 15 caps to be replaced by visual inspection, solder joints through the loupe accross the power supply. Also at least 2 resistors (Re-c) are out of tolerance value.
Woud you suggest keeping stock caps or make sense to go Upgrade Ave? If you do suggest upgrade, what brand would you use and what other circuit components would you replace?

THANKS for your thoughts.
