films have lower ESR than 'lytics and will change the tonal balance. With my New Advents that resulted in an overly BRIGHT! sound.
I found the best compromise was replacing the 13 uF electrolytic with a 12 uF electrolytic and 1 uF film. I didn't have the patience to experiment figuring out how much additional resistance was needed to offset the ESR.
