Capacitor

Dear friends I am interested to upgrade my caps in the tube preamp from Audio theta tin foil 3uf200VDC to Miflex1uf 240VDC copper foil what are your thoughts will reducing the value to 1uf affect the bass and frequency response or should I go with a higher value than 3uf

These are tube amps and I do not wish to change them in near future so kindly suggest something which will give a more 3D holographic image

Canary Audio amplifiers do tend to have high input impedance.
@jasbirnandra you're in good hands with guidance from @grannyring😊.

With tube amps you are good with output caps from .47uf to 2.2uf.  If you want a more holographic image I suggest two cap brands.  
- VH Audio Odams 
- Duelund CAST CuSn - tinned copper version

What do you think of the Audyn, miflex or the Rike Audio Q cap if you have heard them.
I need 4 caps and the brand mentioned above are going to cost a lot.
