"MKT 1822"

Thanks for posting that. At eighty-four cents each (at Mouser), they're certainly worth a try in an amp I'm going to be working on.

He's right that polyester (Mylar) "goes against audiophile logic", and their poor dielectric absorption characteristics can also be measured on a scope.

But interestingly enough (to me, anyway), Audio Note is using Mylar in their coupling caps. Granted, they're film and foil in oil, with silver leads, so perhaps not an "apples to apples" comparison, but for less than $2 to try Mylar, why not?
