Replacing caps and upgrading Pioneer TX-9500

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I'd like to upgrad the caps in at least the audio section of my Pioneer TX-9500. It plays well now, but I've heard that really good results can be had by upgrading some parts. Problem is, I don't know which caps to change or those that would make the biggest difference. Anyone have experience with this particular tuner? I have a schematic, so any specific directions would be easy for me to follow.
I've posted a scan of the schematic on my web site at;

If there is a helpful soul out there that wouldn't mind doing a little hand holding, I'd be most grateful. I'm handy with a soldering iron, but just need some specific advice. Access to the boards on this tuner is pretty good. I'm not looking to put all sorts of botique caps in this thing, but decent Panasonic FC's or similar. Also, if you have advice on soft recovery diodes that woul help also. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Robert
