Cary SLP-05 Output Capacitor Question

Is the KimberCap .33uF and MultiCap 1.0uF combination on the SLP-05 the output capacitor between the tube and the output? I am using a Marchand XM126 crossover with a 1,000,000 ohm imput impedence. The V-Cap output capacitor calculator indicates I can use a .08uF cap with a 2hz low frequency cutoff. I have previously reduced the .33 and 1.0 combination to a single 2.2uf Mundorf S/G/O cap but hope to be able to reduce those to .1uF V-Cap CUTF caps.
Any answer or advice would be appreciated. Mike

You can assume that the shunt value Jeffreybehr mentions to be around 1Mohm, if you can't find it. This is used to prevent the output cap from having a charge on it that could damage an amplifier input.

That would make your total driving impedance to be only 500K, meaning that you will want about 0.2uf. Knowing that shunt value could be important.
