No, you don't have to review all cap shootouts because 90% of them are bull shit.In your amp,I would use Vitaman Q or K40y paper in oil caps..ARC products tend to lead a bit on the sterile side so putting paper in oil caps on the output tubes helps them a lot because it gives the amp a more spacious sound with more body.The other caps I would use the white solen film and tin foil.They are a bit pricier but only because you can't buy them on Ebay or the surplus markets like you can the Russian k40s or even the Russian Teflons..Lets see what shorting the input does first.
