I guess no one has used them,
I have no connection with this company, however I find some of the information interesting..OK some of it is debatable information. (The aging linked to voltage proofing is interesting)
I guess I'll have to see..

I have used them - but not done much comparison.
The CPA series 5uF 10uF 400V work well in my crossovers, and as B+ capacitors in circuits which do not circulate signal current in the supply capacitor (shunt cascode stages).
I could not detect any dramatic difference between CPAs and LCR AG series, in B+ circuits.
I have more extensively used LCR AG 1uF & 4,7uF for caps just after the rectifier in quasi-choke input supplies. I think these are top flight in this position - HUGELY better than motor-run MKPs - which sound very poor to my ears.
Now, LCR have acquired the AMPOHM product range, and their FP-CA-AU 30uF 630V MKP audio types are worth the cost. Use in cathode bypass and B+ caps.

I have always liked Ansar as one of the better sounding of the inexpensive polyprop caps, I generally prefer them to Solen. They also respond well to bypass with a small value Hovland or similar.

I can't offer any advice on LCRs as it is too long since I last tried them, but it looks like they are worth a go.
ICW is the other UK made range, and their Clarity Caps have a good rep, although I haven't tried them

I use the Clarity SA in my XO, and the ESA as supply caps in some of my audio equipment. The SA was huge step up in the cross-overs compared to the Solens they replaced - more detail, and a much cleaner sound overall.. I was a little surprised actually as I expected very minor differences at most. They aren't expensive relatively speaking and offer a lot of bang for the buck.. (quid )
The ESA are in locations (inside the driver stage output current loop of my amps) where they are audible and they were a significant improvement over anything I had tried. (I do have them shunted with smaller Kimber caps as well.)
