Well, when I recapped my Revox CD player, it was my first recap job, I didn't want to mess around with the design..; there was electrolytic caps as output coupling caps, so I put Elna Silmic II in that location as well.
I left them for a while but there was something not quite as clean as I wanted in the treble; following some forum tips I then replaced the single silmic cap with two of the same value in back-to-back disposition (-++-) to simulate a bipolar cap and got some noticeable improvement; I didn't compare with big expensive film caps but to my ears it sounds really great, better in fact that my other CD player wich uses small film caps as output coupling caps.
