I'm Bored. A-S MA-1 amp tweaks and experiments

Hello fellow inmates. I'm bored.
I don't know when to leave well enough alone. My system sounds amazing.
So;

I opened up the underside of my MA-1 mk3.2 amps (Silver Editions upgraded). I saw multistrand wire running from the monster (27,000uF caps) to the binding posts. I don't like multistrand wire, so I changed it to solid core. Slightly smoother in the mids and highs, so it stays.

Now I am looking at the bypass (ripple current) caps connecting the +ve to -ve posts of each big cap. This capacitor is 1uF. What are the pros and cons to raising or lowering this value?
