They are paper in oil caps but I'm not sure who made them. To change them requires a little soldering that you could easily do. I won't suggest a replacement at this time because I think that is a personal decision. You are new to tubes and your tubes have not settled in so to change caps at this time would be a roll of the dice. Google capacitor reviews and you will find a lot of information that should be taken with a large block of salt. Read them and you should get a feel for the basic sonic character. Personally, I change capacitors after I have had an amp a while. Some combinations of caps and tubes in a given circuit are truly magical but it takes a little experimentation to find out what works for you in your system. I feel it is worth the effort. Also, the most expensive caps may not sound the best to you and what you have now may be just fine.
My 2 cents.

Good advice, and you're right it would be easy swapping them out, I could do it myself and save $$$, and experimenting with different brands might actually be kinda fun too.
Absolutely. :-)
