The cap is meant to block DC..

and really nothing but DC from being amplified by the preceding stage.I have replaced many of electrolytics with polypropylene caps and have never had a problem with noise being picked up at all by the longer leads. The argument more or less comes down to dielelectric absorbtion factor in which most electrolytics measure quite poor compared to a teflon,polyprop or polystrene cap..Electrolytics belong on the power rails not in the signal path..
