My ASL 845 SET uses 100/16V. 'lytics to bypass the cathode resistors of the gain- and driver-stage 6SN7 triode sections.

The gain-stage resistor is 1.5K-Ohms while the driver's is 1K-Ohm.

What's the effect of changing the value of these caps? Someone (who may or may not know) said changing the values would change the low-frequency filter point of the amp.

I don't need as much gain as the amp has; are there any advantages, such as cleaner signal, less noise, etc., to removing these bypass caps?
