not in my experience...

Several years ago I spent a year or so tweaking an old nearly dead NAD 7020 reciever. I replaced most of the electrolytics in the amp and preamp sections, mostly with Nichicon Muse and a few Black Gates. That was a nice improvement. But when I replaced the power supply bridge diodes (there were two rectifiers, one for the main unregulated supply and a second for the regulated supply) with FRED soft recovery diodes there was a major decrease in grit and grunge... things smoothed out to an incredible degree. IME, in this case the diodes had a larger sonic impact than the new caps.
