Please help me, last two weeks I spend looking for good quality capacitors for input and output (10uf) in P 1.7. I'm completely confused. Is it good to use high voltage ones? Please suggest a brand or anything that will provide me with most transparent sounding caps.
THANKS!
THANKS!

You can find:
Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitor made in France
from: 0.01 ... 330 µF, E 24 series, ±5 %, ±2 %.
like these at: www.solen.ca
For input caps...

they're rather big.
What do you think is the size of Wima MKPs? (i would not wonder if they are from the same manufacturing line)
I use wima MKS, have no problems, and they are smaller than MKP but still not really small. But much less expensive.
Let me pour some snakeoil. I belive that BG N type caps are much better than those Wimas. BG N caps are not your usual electrolytcs, but special blend that outperforms all the other electrolytics in coupling applications. I prefer them even to Jensens and Hovlands caps.
PS: If you check percyaudio.com catalog, this is what he writes about those caps:
"Unrivaled performance in a unique graphite impregnated electrolytic design with ESR 1/5 to 1/20 that of
ordinary electrolytics, minimal phase delay, and extremely low noise floor, exceeding -160dB for some models.
No other electrolytic compares for low distortion, sonic purity, and extremely long life (up to 10X other electrolytics)."
He also had this piece of info posted on his site previously, but I guess it was way too much snakeoil so he removed it.
