I havent done a lot of experimenting.

Ive mainly concentrated on MKPs from wima, Vishay.

Do you prefer other types ?

Cheers

Solen .1/630v,but take care:at least 100hours and not sure if it is enough.

Hi,
low inductance is essential.

It is a load for above audio frequencies and if it does it's job it has no direct effect on the intended audio signal. On that basis a good audio cap is not essential and probably a waste.

A stacked metallised film (polyester?) is good enough, possibly bypassed with a smaller one.
