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

M, understand that all the tubed circuits with coupling caps that I've seen have a shunt resistor following the cap, and that value is in parallel with the input impedance of the device the preamp's driving. Be careful to include that value in your calcs, and if you value high-quality low bass, don't let the filter point get above 2Hz.
