I have found Jensen copper foil/oil caps to be fragile and short-lived when installed in a relatively cool environment, and one or two were bad right out of the box. However, if you love the sound, use 'em by all means. Obviously, as I originally suggested it might be a good idea to check the local temperature where the caps will be mounted in situ before proceeding; if the Jensen/AN caps die in 250 hours at 85 degrees, they probably have only slightly better lifespan at slightly lower temperatures. Maybe Jensen can supply a curve showing average lifespan vs temp. I like teflon coupling caps from REL or Vcap, FWIW.
