Your DMM is better than the one I am using.
I normally ask for matched pairs from Michael Percy and Acoustic Dimension and the values they write on the caps are very near the ones I obtain with my DMM.
I also use some reference 0.3% caps and 0.1% resistors that I use as comparison when making measurements.
I believe yours are also ok.
I am looking forward for your listening impressions.

This will set you back way less (dollar to Euro helps also) and will be sufficient.
TONGHUI 10KHZ DIGITAL BENCHTOP LCR/RCL METER,TH2811D | eBay
- Capacitance : 0.01pF to 99999uF;
- Inductance : 0.01uH to 99999H;
- Impedance / Resistance : 0.0001 Ohm to 99.999M Ohms
- Quality Factor (Q ) : 0.0001 to 9999.9;
- Percent deviation : -999.99% to 999.99%
- Selective test frequency: 100Hz / 120Hz /1KHz / 10KHz
Now this is really impressive.... I wish I could have enough tim€ to order one right now.
Unfortunately I am having the hardest tim€ of my life ever

I watched that video few time. Each and every time I see it, it makes me cry - the love and passion that you people have for quality sound reproduction.
For those who don't know that video, it's highly recommended: YouTube - Greek Audiophile .
BTW, if I'm not mistaken, what all the Athens audiophiles in the movie share is a turntable and maybe also tube amplifiers.
I started as audiophile
& you are right audiophiles are out of DIY world.I have audiophiles friends & listening a DIY tube-pre asking me several times how many tubes have & always I answered only one so 1/2 tube per each channel & can't believe the sonic results because they uses tube pre with a lot of tubes & they can't understand that the DIY tube pre sounds so good only with one tube.
I started as audiophile
Not all audiophiles emerge from the DIY community and all people from the DIY community turn into audiophiles.
See here Audiophile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia the second paragraph:
"Audiophile values may be applied at all stages of music reproduction: the initial audio recording, the production process, and the playback, which is usually in a home setting. High-end audio refers to expensive, high-quality, or esoteric products and practices used in the reproduction of music. Electronic gear used by audiophiles can be bought at specialist shops and websites.[4] Audiophiles can purchase special recordings made with extra attention to sound quality, some being special audiophile-oriented reissues, as well as recordings in high-resolution formats such as Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio. Many modern audiophiles also take advantage of lossless file formats such as WAV, FLAC, WMA Lossless, and Apple Lossless.".
See also here Audiophile - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary :
": a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction".
This one is the most common and most acceptable definition of audiophile. It means that an audiophile is dedicated to HIGH-FIDELITY, or high quality sound reproduction.
It's different from simple "loving sound".
In that case, just add 10pF to your 47nF cap instead of 83pF
This added value will slightly increase attack and detail.
Magnifico Ricardo the improvement it's absolutely great in all areas, highs more marked, mids with more body, bass incredible, seems that now the phono have more speed or dynamics like more real
