Replacing electrolytic caps with poly caps??

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I have a pre-amp that I'd like to replace a couple of non-polarized electrolytic caps in the signal path of the phono input with poly caps. The stock caps are 100uF. Being that the poly caps are larger and the value will have to be lower, what's the smallest value poly cap that can be used? Is there a ratio/formula to go by?
TIA

What's the value of the resistive load following that cap? (NT) - jeffreybehr 17:23:16 04/3/14 (0)
