help on changing capacitors

Hello every one I need advice...I have a balanced audio technology vk-5i preamplifier that needs to change the output capacitors they are rated 1mfd at 400vdc this use to be made by Jensen but they are no longer in business, I contacted Bat but they asked more than 450 us for changing them, can you recommend a substitute and what brand should I buy?
Best Regards

An important consideration with that site is the listening tests were only done in speaker crossovers, not electronics. Typically just on the high pass circuit only. This is very important to remember. They will not necessarily sound the same in a preamp, amp or dac circuit.

@grannyring  Good point.  That said, I've used the site to choose capacitors for two duties, high pass crossover and output capacitor on my preamp.  In both cases, I heard what he wrote.
