It can get hot near some tubes and polystyrene exhibits a low melting point. In a 'X7 based phono preamp 'styrene should be quite safe.

The film dielectric "pecking order" is PTFE, polystyrene, and polypropylene. Practical considerations, such as cost and heat tolerance, make polypropylene a "favorite".
