I was reading somewhere that its a good idea to replace the two "1 mfd 160 volt electrolytic caps" with polpropylene 250 (or higher) volt caps in the Stax SRD-7 adapter

the "1 mfd 160 volt electrolytic caps" look like polar caps they have a + and -
are the polpropylene caps bipolar?
is it ok to replace them with bipolar caps such as these?

if not, what type of capacitor do I replace them with?
Im using an older SRD-5 adapter as the SRD-7 has a minor channel imbalance and one of the caps dont look so good, not sure if its the caps

1uF Hi Quality Metallised / Polypropylene Capacitor
These RT (axial) non polar capacitors are ideal for high quality crossovers. They offer excellent audiofrequency characteristics and are rated at 250Vhttp://www.jaycar.co.nz/Sight-%26-Sound---Home/Hi-Fi-Speakers-%26-Accessories/Speaker-Hardware-%26-Accessories/1uF-Hi-Quality-Metallised-Polypropylene-Capacitor/p/RY6950
