Get both the 0.01 and the 0.1 µf capacitors. Use the 0.1 µf caps first to bypass the 10 µf cap. Then listen for a while. Then bypass the 10 µf and 0.1 µf caps with the 0.01 cap.
To me everything sounds crisper after the bypasses have been added. The bass has more impact, i.e. the drums sound more percussive, and cymbals will sound more life like. Things will sound better, yet, when you add the subsequent bypass cap.
Teflon caps take quite a while to settle down (100 hours or more). So be patient. Listening to Teflon caps while they are burning in can be quite a roller coaster ride. The caps will sound terrible, then great, only to sound bad again. After 100 hours is when they seem to settle down. The longer they are in the circuit the better they sound.
If you order smaller values of Teflon caps as additional bypass you will reap subtle improvements. The improvements of additional bypasses are never quite as pronounced as the first one, but your ears will tell that something good is happening.
