In Reply to: What are the better electrolytic caps now ? posted by John PA on January 27, 2015 at 07:28:00:
I have used these 100+100/500v Jensens several times now that my stock of BG WKZ caps is nearly gone. I still prefer the WKZ sonically but the Jensen is good enough that I can vary other components to get the sound I want:

I also use old Sprague Atom electrolytics in a few places especially 40uf/500v and 80uf/450v. Some folks like to bash these and they are certainly not perfect, but they do not get in the way of my enjoying music whereas many other caps like ASC motor runs and Solen film caps do.
By the way, I agree 100% with Madisonears' description of Silmic II. I bought some based on the enthusiastic review and was very disappointed. Very dark and dull, lacking in life and detail. For small, low voltage spots I prefer old Panasonic HFQ caps that are now discontinued but still available on Ebay as NOS.
