Higher voltage cap in audio path a bad idea?

Reel deep thoughts...
What, if any, is the downside to using a higher voltage part when replacing an electrolytic capacitor in the audio path? A coupling cap...stock part is 68uF/6.3V and I want to try a 100uF/25V...Its not that a cap of the stock value isn't available...just interested in trying the higher value part out...
 
The higher voltage rating will not yield a better sound, but it will not harm anything either. A higher capacity should result in a better low end...

Right...thank you. I knew the higher voltage wouldn't improve things, but was wondering if it may hurt...like for instance if materials or construction to handle the higher voltage might compromise more delicate performance metrics...

Thanks for the input.
