Thank you @hifinet  for suggesting K77-1. I gave it a good listen with Soviet K77-1 caps. K77-1s only have 8 hours on them, and some say that polycarbonate caps need 60+ hours, I am not sure if true but will keep listening to them. I did not know that eBay seller sells pairs, so I bought two. Three of them measured 7.08, so as close as I can get to matching. My multi-meter is not the most sophisticated so that could be culprit too.

Strangely, I miss the sound of those inexpensive kit Audiophiler caps that @hifinet included, they sound mighty fine after 20 hours. Will give K77-1 20+ hours and compare again. I have an intial impression that lows are not as tight with K77-1, highs might be a bit clearer but certainly difference is not immediately obvious. I will order a second kit from @hifinet and will do blind testing of caps.
