Only that a 100uF cap is almost certainly an electrolytic, which will sound worse than a good film cap. They're also leakier, and they eventually dry out and die.

Hi Poul,
One should add "to you" electrolytics sound worse than a good film cap. To me its all about what you want in a design..and I have a least used some pretty good sounding audio gear with electrolytis in the signal path .. Old Neve comes to mind..It all about sound and nothing else to me.. even now with years and years of use....still no problems with the original electrolytics...so most of them will have a good long lifespan ymmv
Kind regards
Peter
