IMHO you did just fine using stranded wire in this unit. From my experience stranded sounds better in AC power supply application. If I'm not mistaken I believe Duster concurs with this. Also it's likely that a metallized polyprop cap would sound better. You could go higher in value if the x type cap in MPP would fit as long as it is across the ac as this is. T456

Follow Ups:
The late Al Sekela recommended the WIMA MP3-X2 as a superior sounding X-cap, and I also find it performs better than a typical metallized polypropylene X-cap safety capacitor. I have in turn recommended the cap to pixelphoto for his application, since that's what I also use for my own DIY power line distributor. A 0.1uf 250V value WIMA MP3-X2 metallized paper capacitor is just fine for the application.
Then again for a couple of bucks he could a b them and find out for himself through his own experience. A major part of what this hobby is about.
