I'm not sure if you're replacing current caps, or building a new Bugle. Either way, I have come to really value the additioanl refinement of oil caps. These are MUCH bigger than electrolytics, so real estate may be an issue. An alternative might be to use a common electrolytic, bypassed by, say a 10uf Obligato (see DIY HiFi). Those are every bit as big as many can caps, but well worth the sonic improvement, IMHO.
