Wish to upgrade phono preamp caps and other

Looking at my PS Audio GCPH I see 4 12000uf NCD caps sitting in what I believe to be the signal chain.

I wish to upgrade to best possible caps in that location.

I'm finding it difficult to locate any 12000uf caps let alone some really good ones that will fit in about a 35mm wide X 45mm high location.

I understood there are companies that replace these caps with Muse but Muse doesn't make that value cap.

I'm not electronic savvy but shouldn't you replace with same value cap?

I rechecked the values of those caps. They are in fact 100uf 63volt caps. Here is a pic of the caps on the board.

Pictures worth well, you know.

When bypassing, I assume that means adding in parallel, the fore mentioned caps?
