I'm putting together the input pi-nets for my 2 x 3-500z amp.  The input cap is
a trimmer, and the output is fixed.  

For some of the values of output capacitors, I have 500v dipped silver mica
capacitors, and the smaller values (150-100 pf) are really physically small  --
like 1/4" long.  Do these capacitors carry a significant amount of current, and
would I be advised to look for larger capacitors?  In the higher values, I have
some old-fashioned capacitos about 1/2" x 3/4" in size.
