Slanted slash marks can also mean optional. Meaning the capacitor may or may not be present/needed in the circuit. This occurs for example with crystal oscillator capacitors.
I may be way off on this, but reading between the lines, you may be considering replacing more capacitors than you need to. Typically what people replace when updating audio equipment are the power supply electrolytics and coupling capacitors to improve/change the sound and/or they are or may become leaky. There are also some capacitor types that from experience, are knows to have high failure rates. For example Hunts PIO's, and I wish I could recall the name of the silver coloured foil type capacitors they used in the 60's that had a high failure rate. And any electrolytic cardboard exterior or that are bulging.
