Anyone have a pic to show me where to replace HEXFREDS in a Cary CAD-120S?

I know there are supposed to be 6, which I have, but I only have a novice experience with circuitry. I don't want to risk the shipment there and back (or the $$$), so I want to do this upgrade myself. 

Can anyone PLEASE show me pics, or give me specific instructions on WHERE these new HEXFREDS go and what they replace? 

Thank you so much! 

Anyone who has had it done to theirs, and would like to share pics of the "undercarriage", would be appreciated as well...

Also, I purchased them as part of a 25% off sale! The ASC caps are on closeout at Parts Connextion for only $9 each!

You answered while I was editing my post. Figured the TCs were the ones referenced. I was wondering how you accommodated them(nice work).

Correction. I did not use Mundorf Evo caps, but rather Clarity SA caps that were on sale in place of 10uf  electrolytic caps. I also used Obliggato film caps to replace the 47uf electrolytic caps. Those are the large black ones you see. Big improvement!

I am pretty sure, not positive, your caps are in series. You may only need 600uf! Two caps only. Also you don't need as much capacitance with these TC caps.

"Two caps only."(per)   I'd want to keep the capacitance within 20%(and I always prefer the more side).   I've already put over $800 worth of Duelund coupling caps in the pair, not to mention a few other little expenditures.   This will take some thought(damn it)!
