Ping Gusser et al. Follow up on the 'fake/' WIMA and STC 35 PC board thread? All WIMA -) replace one

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Both my rebuilt LEAK Stereo 20s use WIMAs except for NFB. The cathode bias resistors are dark-blue shiny encapsulation low L types.
IF I were to replace just one circuit capacitor position OR one role* per channel, what economical cap would the sensible people around here recommend? NB I'd be happy to go a teeny bit warmer / richer.
I'm thinking the *cathode-bypass caps but I can't recall why I've focussed on them. That would be 8 caps.
What about the input cap?
TIA

Polycarbonate caps can be very neutral. My amps have a couple of red MKS. - Timbo in Oz 15:32:01 05/30/12 (1)

I THINK they are the 2 x 2 0.47 400V MKP4 nearest each pair of EL84Ms - Timbo in Oz 16:57:32 05/29/12 (0)
