4.7uF?

4.7uF seems kind of big for a coupling cap. Are you sure it's not 0.47uF?

If it is you might have room for a non-electrolytic cap. A nonpolar film or PIO cap will sound better than a lytic. Whenever I try a different cap out I don't mind trying a smaller capacitance value, I just make sure that the voltage rating is the same or larger.

Also, if you know for sure that your preamp has a coupling cap on the output, then maybe you could just bypass the input cap entirely. Of course, you should put the cap back if you ever sell the amp or use it elsewhere.
