Anyone have suggestions for a .1uF 400V coupling cap in the $25 range?
Application: Elekit Tu-8600 tube amp

For what purpose, musician or hi-fi? For general purposes, the Sprague 716P is good, with the
voltage AC rated, copper leads, extended foil, a wide range of values. And less than $2 each.

^ what he said, i just automatically had my tube amplifier cap on there. The application is everything..
For that Hi-Fi amp, the manufacturers recommend: EVOSGO-020: 0.1uF 650V Mundorf Mcap EVO Silver Gold Oil Capacitor | Hifi Collective
Or, (SUPSGO-020) - 0.1uF 1000V Mundorf MCap Supreme Silver Gold Oil Capacitor | Hifi Collective

Audiocap PPT Theta 0.10uF 600V Film/Foil Capacitor
ClarityCap 0.1 mfd CSA CopperConnect Poly Cap 630V
Obbligato Capacitor 0.1uF 1000Vdc Ultra Premium Film
I've used the Jantzen caps with good results, but in larger values.

A good read, some important points....

Indeed! 😀
And it's funny, when I cover up my equipment, with one piece being an EL84 stereo tube amp that I made in 2006, and let other "audiophiles" listen to the system, I always get rave reviews for the musical performance!
Nods of appreciation all ovr the place!
YET.... when they THINK it's some esoteric "high end" system (Like some McIntosh etc etc stuff), and I pull away the coverings, it's a lowly Technics-Kenwood-Akai-home-made tube amp system, and they're flabbergasted!
I love the look on their faces!
And not one overpriced 0.1uF cap in the system.
I'm realistic, sensible, down to earth..... my head's not in the clouds.
