Where'd you pick up the Rubycon Black Gate NX from Janus?

Why didn't you opt for Philips Low Loss (Q LL) caps?
They are what is used far often in the best musical equipment (amps too), have higher and tighter tolerances and frequency bandwidth, temperature tolerances, life and quality. Pair them up with Black Gate FK for best results.

Personally I think polymer caps are the best in DC-blocking positions when you need high capacitance. Provide great sound quality. the chemicon PSA series is good.

The next best thing to no cap though is film caps, electrolytics cant touch them.

For all other power filtering positions, the best are low esr caps like the panasonic FM, which is what I use.
