all the upgrade options are approved by Elekit

I don't understand. Elekit does not approve changing the stock 220uf 16V output bypass caps with 220uf 16V OS-CON caps? Seems to me if they are an improvement for the 12AU7 drivers, the same would be true for the outputs.
there is no 220uf 16v OS-CON
Also the size is too big
Yes, I believe there is (see link).The stock output cathode bypass capacitors are 220uf 16V (same with the stock 12AU7 bypass caps). Why would 220uf be fine for the stock caps but not for the OS-COM? What OS-CON value would you recommend for the outputs?

Can't you or won't you answer my questions?
The link shows that there is a 220uf, 16V OS-CON. Why would you not recommend these capacitors (of any value, 180uf, 220uf, etc) for the output tubes after recommending them for the 12AU7 tubes?
You say 220uf, 16V is too much capacitance for the output tube. Then why are 220uf, 16V capacitors included in the basic kit and a range of 150uf - 220uf is recommended in the instructions? If 220uf is too big, what value would your recommend for the outputs?

I did answer your QUESTIONS
I only recommend to upgrade 4 coupling caps (AMCO 0.1 X 4) and 4 cathode by pass caps (Sanyo OS-CON 180uf 16V). We tested our suggestion. It mentioned in THE MANUAL. YOU WANT TO USE 220uF. IT is your choice.

IT IS THE SIZE NOT THE CAPACITANCE. I only recommend to replace these 4 coupling caps and 4 cathode by pass cap.
