Re: No

Rather that just replacing the rather large electrolytic cap you might be able to use a smaller value. What equipment is the output cap in? A line stage or source I would guess. The cap only needs to be large enough to have good low frequency response with the intended load. For example, a 10Kohm load will require a 1.5 micorfarad cap to have good response to 10 hz. Since tube circuits tend to have much higher input impedance than 10Kohm a smaller cap might be possible.

Smaller caps are available in film/foil contruction and will likely fit in place of the original 'lytic type.
