I recently acquired a Jolida JD-707A and would like to replace the 4 stock Angela (SCR) tin foil 0.27uf 630v coupling caps with something better such as Audiocap RTX or Jantzen Silver Oil. Searched the interweb and there are slim pickins for 0.27uf.
0.22 and .33 are the next closest values unless I parallel .22 and .047 to make .267, but room is tight in a few spots

Jolida has not yet responded to a request for a schematic, but will there be any noticeable effect if I go with .22 or .33?. I'm no expert, but from what I read, changing the value would make either little difference or if going with the lower .22 value, the bass might roll off at a different frequency.

Any thoughts?

A few months back  I upgraded the  caps in my Jolida JD302 CRc  ( 4 x .22uF coupling  / 2 x .47uF signal ground) to  the Clairy MR's and  I am very happy with the results. 
It was actually suggested that I try increasing hte value of the  .22 uF's to .47uF   but I ended up staying with the .22's. From what I've been told,  you should be fine using the .33 ,  I don't think .06uF is going to   be a huge change
