I love the SC plats but .47 doesn't give quite enough capacitance in that position..That is one place if you can fit them in where the KBGs work quite nicely..Even if you went with a 10uf SC poly bypass at around 5uf to 10uf,you would probably love the result.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.

I have Black gates and I use them as cathode bypass for higher values..What I was speaking of is right here..Try some of the KBG caps for bypass in the power supply..They now have the .15 at 600v but I think the 1uf to 5uf works very well and these caps would be terribly expensive if they weren't surplus military..The reason I always go more on bypass is because film caps,whether they be paper or poly, will deliver the energy at quicker pulses under most listening conditions..Then on higher demanding passages,you go into the electrolytic.
