Need help choosing a capacitor for an DIY upgrade

Pro Audio Asylum

Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

Hello,
I would like to upgrade the axial-lead polar electrolytic caps in a phonostage. I would prefer to use Black Gate STD series, even though they are radial-lead, as I want to use the best possible cap.
The caps I want to upgrade are Sprague 30D series; 680uf x 25vdc and 220uf x 25vdc
However the Black Gate caps do not come in the values I need.
If Black Gate is "the best electrolytic audio cap" than I have two questions:
What is the second best electrolytic audio cap?
and
What is the best polar electrolytic axial-lead audio cap?
Thank you.
