I agree. If the set is unplugged, the electrolytics can still hold enough of a charge to shock you. when the set is plugged in, I always use the "one hand in pocket" rule I was taught in electronics servicing at tech college, which means to work on an energized circuit with one hand only, that way if you touch the circuit the shock will only travel through your hand, which will hurt but won't do serious damage. the real danger is if you make a path for electricity that will allow it to pass through your body, which can kill!
