The only vintage cap I'd begin to trust

is the vitamin Q, assuming we are talking old paper in oil types. Other brand but same type, hermetically sealed PIO caps are fine too. I would not pay silly money but if the chance presents itself they are worth a try.

In the right amp, for the right job, they can be magic. In the wrong place they are bandwith limited, colored, and cause a loss of detail. In general, I'd use them as late as possible in the signal chain. That said I do run a pair as a passive output filter in a DVD. Helps to make the CD's bearable.
