Jupiter Caps in tube preamp application

I just ordered some Jupiter Copper Foil caps for my Art Audio Vinyl Ref preamp but now i am thinking maybe that is a bad idea due to temperature issues? Jupiter says they are designed to work up to 80C which is high but was wondering what others think about this. Advice is appreciated.

Not near tubes. I am going to borrow a thermo gun to get temps inside case

Dear @jimbones  : Which caps in your preamp you will change and which caps are the original ones ( I mean manufactured by ) ? what are you looking for changing the original caps. Something wrong with these ones.?


Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

when I first got the preamp it did a LOT of things well, with the exception that it was just a bit hard/forward in the midrange. Looking to mellow it out a bit.

Dear @jimbones  : Ok, you are looking for a " tone control " and that's exactly what the boutique/high end caps does it but if in the future you want true MUSIC not colored one then give a chance to Wima MKP 10 or FKP 1 models and you will be heavy surprised by, just non-colored high quality performance levels.

In the mean time enjoy what you have.
