Any letter designation on the Relcaps???

You say they were not marked "RTE". In fact, all the REL polystyrenes I have ever seen were marked "RT", but I sure can't say they never used RTE. That said, if you don't see RT or RTE, they ought to have some 2- or 3-letter designation on them, besides the Relcap label. REL uses a code to tell the user whether the cap is polystyrene or polypropylene, metallized or film and foil. By the way, you may know this, but REL capacitors are made in Southern California; no need to get them from Germany. The RTs are pretty nice sounding caps, so I was surprised you found them wanting or that the WIMAs could be so much better. (I'm guessing the WIMAs are metallized polypropylene types or maybe film and foil.)
