Thanks for the reply brian . Have opened my tube amp and it seems i have problem fitting these caps inside the chassis.. and ofcourse the budget :) What will be the minimum capacitance for the FILM OIL caps to replace the 47uf Electrolytic cap ? Does a 22uf Obligato film caps do a good job ?? or should stick to the 47uf value ?

I replaced a series pair of Black Gate WT 220uF (net = 110uF) with a film/oil Obbligato 30uF 630V. No, it does not fit inside, anywhere. But, when you hear it, you will not care. Tidy is only important until you hear better ;)

Happy Ears!
