I had the intermittent frying sound too and it went away after I replaced the .02's on the preamp 12AX7's so I thought I was done with that issue.
Then it came back and it turned out to be a 12AX7 tube socket connection.
Moving the tube around in the socket stopped it but I never got to the bottom of it because my Sherwood arrived and I'm focusing on that right now.
I know what you mean about the varied opinions of old caps.
My new tactic is to replace the supply caps,rectifier and coupling caps then if I think there's still something that might be better, I change a pair of caps at a time, the same one in each channel to see what sonic change that makes.
