Audionote electrolytic is super nice, the midrange is mesmerizing! For power supply filter caps, The Jensen 4 poles in my opinion is the best for electrolytic for tube amps. I strongly recommend the 500v, better in dynamics and transient. I like the Jensen 4 pole more than the T series from Clarity.

Panasonic FC Series, and the newer FM series are excellent general pupose Electrolytics, that just happen to sound good. Nichicon Muse is very good, but careful when ordering there are two grades, two price points. My own preference is Elna Silmic IIs, they're outstanding. Their Cerafine line is very good also

Are audio grade Electrolytics recommended 01-21-2022, 07:45 AM. So I want to replace the power supply Electrolytics in both my Colonnade and my Aurora because of crackling sounds and some hum. I am wondering if I should have audio grade electrolytic capacitors for this. Unfortunately at Mouser, the audio grade electrolytics are out of stock and ...

The best capacitor types for audio circuits are polystyrene and polypropylene. Polystyrene is the first choice, but are only available in values up to .001 uF. Above that value, polypropylene is the type of choice, with nearly the same qualities of dissipation factor (DF) and dielectric absorption (DA) as polystyrene (these are the two capacitor “qualities” that most …

They are leaky. Even a new electrolytic cap allows a considerable amount of current across the plates; this makes them less than ideal for audio signal path usage. You can replace the electrolytics in your amplification stages with film capacitors; as I said above, doing so might improve your sound, or not.

Rap on Replacing Electrolytic Capacitors

https://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~reese/electrolytics/

Electrolytic power supply caps likely constitute the single worst liability in old audio, radio and test equipment. By combining small size and very low cost per unit capacitance, electrolytic capacitors (hereafter called electrolytics) are the only cost-effective choice for high-value applications like power supply filtering in most consumer gear.
