Coupling caps in Cary SLP98, 0.22uF or 2.0uF ?

Does anybody know which are the values of the coupling caps in the Cary SLP98 preamps? I've read posts about this pre of some people that refer to the 0.22uF caps as the coupling caps, but others refer to the 2.0uF caps. There are both values of caps inside this pre, so I got confused.

Thanks for any input.

Paul,

thank you for the very informative response. I just opened the pre and found 2 Jensen copper/oil caps of 0.22uF/630V and 2 "Audio 1" caps of 2.0uF/600V. I have heard that the Jensens are good, so I was thinking about replacing only the Audio Ones and keeping the Jensens. Do you think it would be good to replace also the Jensens? Any cap recommendation for this application? I was thinking about Hovland caps as others have had good results with these, but there might be even better choices (???), I don't know.

Thanks again. Jov
