It seems to be a Denafrips thing.
A bit like old folks taking too much medication, because if one pill is good for me, then three pills must be three times as good for me
One big difference being that too many PSU filtering caps don't poison you. They are just a waste of caps.
A lot of work for a repairman when they start failing and it needs a recap.
Yes a failed transformer was a surprise for me. In some of his videos he goes to extraordinary lengths to repair stuff of modest value, including dismantling fiddly multi-gang switches which I assume he can't find replacement parts.
He has by far the best repair channel on YouTube. Not only does he have great repair skills but is also always cheerful with nice production values.
Jaunty theme music too! :0)
I would agree, he also takes on a broad range of equipment, although I do like Mr Carlson's lab for the valve/tube stuff and Curious Marc for the old HP instrumentation, the obscure and US and Russian* space related stuff.
*particularly fascinating to me

Mr Carlson's knowledge especially when it comes to tube products is superb. I just find his personality rather dry so less fun to watch.

i quite like Louis Rossman and Northridge Fix if you like computer based repair but I dont see a lot of conventional audio electronics repairs
Mark has done a few higher end pieces and its always nice to see what goes into the construction. Often we just dont get to see inside a product.
To see close up board shots and component counts and a repair is a treat... in the same way I like stuff where people repair high performance cars.
A lot of my stuff I havent opened up and I should.
