Replacement cap value

I have completed (almost) the order for Sonicaps to upgrade my 1.2TLs, but have a question about one of the caps. The original has a value of .25uf , but Sonicap only has a .22 +/- 5%. Is that close enough? It's the cap connected to the leads of one of the inductors.

Thanks!

    if these are the bypass caps, forget it... using bypass caps with Sonicaps makes the sound worse...

    Thanks for the replies. I placed the order today and they're already on the way (fast turnaround). I went with the .22uf and hope they're on the "+" side to make them close to the original's "-" side (original being .25uf +/- 10%). Either way, it doesn't seem far enough off to make it and issue.

    These aren't the bypass caps. Those are the 750pf and I didn't order replacements as I'm going to leave them out as it seems to be the consensus here.

    Thanks!
