"Your Mileage May Vary".....

For what it's worth, several audiophiles in Phoenix have recently been trying out various caps in their tube gear and SET amps, and the opinions were not totally consistent with the findings in the shootout. Especially with Don Allen's products, which were consistently happier with "paper in oil" type capacitors (Jensen and Russian mil stock) than with the highest-rated super-expensive Teflon type caps. (Several owners have also gotten frustrated with the "long burn in times" for some of these products.)

If you have an amp that is very resolute to begin with, you may want to try the more-reasonable paper-in-oil types first.
