Thank you Lew for the response.
I personally never understood this "bypass" thing myself. The only reasons I did it is because in their upgrade package for my amp Rogue bypasses these cap, and my local tech seemed to be in favour of doing it. This seems to be a contentious issue, some liking to bypass, others not.
That said, I am listening as I type this, the amp sounds superb. Far better than I remember it being before. Not sure if it's all the new caps breaking in or my ears getting used to the sound or a combo of both but I am happy so I'm not changing anything for now.
Easy to remove the bypass caps down the road or even substitute the Mundorfs for something else. My main concern was reducing the cap from 2.7uF to 1.5uF. Since that seems to be a nonissue, it opens up more options down the road. May even be able to fit a 1.5uF film cap in that spot now.
