Seems like every time a posting about signal path capacitors comes up electrolytic capacitors are universally condemned!
However, this is the fourth or fifth project that I've tinkered with, trying a variety of capacitors and every time I keep coming back to the electrolytics. Granted I am usually upgrading the quality of THAT cap. But every time the polar cap does sound better.
I am using audio grade Nichicon KT, KW,FW ,FG series caps. And a variety of WIMA and Clarity, Solan film caps.
