For PSU filter/storage caps?!

Most have recommended that you replace them with caps of matching dimensions and uf Value, and possibly higher voltage rating.

I'd suggest looking into getting quieter diodes - Schottkys - IF they will fit, and go with the highest voltage rating AND uf caps that will fit the available space.

? better diodes will be quieter, both in the audio band and above it which can help if it's a wide bandwidth circuit.

? Higher voltage ratings will increase the life of the caps.

? And, high storage PSUs make power amps sound more relaxed at LOUD, IMO&E. Bass will be better, too.
