I'm looking for replacement caps for a 20 year old Cary amp. The filter caps fit through access holes in the amp and are 1100uf 450v with a diameter slightly less than 2". Cap height is not an issue.
Although I found a replacement (CBE) at Mouser.com that fits the bill, it's a non-stock item requiring a minimal purchase of 16 units.
So my question is, can I use a different value cap without blowing up the rectifier? As usual, thanks for any recs or suggestions.

with huge Caps like that, I'd choose a high quality 1000uF, rather than worry about the extra 10% capacitance in a 20% tolerance part. The KEMET BHC ALS30 series has a long track record in quality applications:
