Wish to upgrade phono preamp caps and other

Looking at my PS Audio GCPH I see 4 12000uf NCD caps sitting in what I believe to be the signal chain.

I wish to upgrade to best possible caps in that location.

I'm finding it difficult to locate any 12000uf caps let alone some really good ones that will fit in about a 35mm wide X 45mm high location.

I understood there are companies that replace these caps with Muse but Muse doesn't make that value cap.

I'm not electronic savvy but shouldn't you replace with same value cap?

That link does not work for me. You can send the pictures direct to my personal e-mail through the Audiogon system or repost a link? Shocked that there would be electrolytic caps in the signal path, but if true, Johnss gives the correct advice.

Best,

"When bypassing, I assume that means adding in parallel, the fore mentioned caps?" Yes, that is what it means.

Great Northern Sound is great for this.

Thanks Johnss. I'll head in that direction.
