Default silver mica caps fro KEL84 feedback mod?

About to do this but can't locate 3.3nF silver micas. Am I right that I can put say 1.5 and 1.8 in series? Anyone got 3.3 or these smaller values for sale?

yes, RS I will try find the type, I think its something like pfx, graham slee uses them and tantalums in his top of the line phonos and you really can hear the difference between the lower models, more of everything.
he has done exhaustive tests on just about every cap. going and sticks with these. he's tried polystyrenes, silvers, and other polyprops to
