And this is coming from someone who loves BG WKZ and N series 350V caps.Their low voltage caps are reasons why some people hate BG. They are not in the same league as the Big voltage caps.
I have tried them and will never use or recommend them.
Can't say that I like the Muse KZ either. Their cheaper green label ones sound better to me.

Thanks, That explains why I never really heard any improvement when I put some low voltage black gates in my old phono pre amp.
I have not had much experience with electrolytics but I have been happy with Nichicons that I have used in the past.
in the same application - get mine from Welborne
I recommend to put them in Super-E config for best result; i.e. two caps with same value in parallell with long leg against short leg (and vice versa). Happy hunting...Tom, Lillehammer (Norway)

Your suggested "super e" configuration - putting electrolytic caps in parallel but in "antiphase" means that one cap will be reverse biased when placed between potentials in a circuit - won't it destroy itself???
They are non-polar, thus a "+/-" ala super E can be done without any danger. You can of course NOT do this on regular electrolytics like BG FK...
