I agree as well. I don't like bypassing either. If you are not happy with the sound of your circuit, cap rolling is unlikely to fix it. Try different circuit approaches.

Hi, Thomas,

I really like the sound of this amp. It's on the bench, so I'm cap rolling to see how things sound, not really trying to fix anything. Mostly personal curiosity to see what all the cap fuss is about. It's all good so far. In fact, the differences in the caps I mentioned in my original post are very subtle in this amp, and as they continue to take turns in the coupling spot, they are merging toward one another in detail and extension. It may come down to primarily size and space considerations.

  Hi!
  
  That's a good sign that the caps don't make big differences. This is an indication of a good design! Don't get fussed up about caps and enjoy your amp then!
  
  Best regards
  
  Thomas
