Cap value confusion: .1uf or .22uf?

Ron Writes:With a .22uf the low freq. rolloff is about 10 Hz. With a .1uf it is 20Hz. I've noticed you've been doing some serious tube rolling but if you haven't replaced the .047uf cap yet...you really should before you make any conclusions about the sound of the amps or the sound of a specific brand of tube"

Well, at least my speakers only go down to about 40hz or so... Anyway, I do plan on replacing that .047uf.

Do you recommend going with a .1uf or all the way to the .22? My other cap value is the .1 yet I was thinking about getting Hovlands to hear the difference.

Any specific recommendations here for value and cap? Would like to get this done ASAP as I need to break them in and also finish auditioning the tubes before the owner comes after me!

Thanks,
