New caps for preamp?

Preamp works & sound fine but is 14 yrs old.
Would new caps improve sound?
If so why, how.
Thanks

If its an improvement or not depends on which way it shifts the balance of the sound. You might want to call the mfg of the preamp and see if they have any recommendations. John C.
