Hey guys!
I am going to build my second cMoy amp and this one will be stationary. So as size of parts does not really matter i can choose whatever caps i want. And now i'm thinking is there such a thing "the bigger the better" in choice of C2 capacitor? I am sure that i will put in at least 1uF MKP 250V Visaton capacitors or should i try to put 1.5, 2.2 or 3.3 uF caps?

Better go for quality, not size, if you can.
There's some very good explanations about chosing input caps at tangent's pages: http://tangentsoft.net/audio/input-cap.html

For similar price I could also get MKP 1.0 uF 630V Audyn-Cap capacitors. I dont know if they are better than Visaton and how.
I have read the tangets article about the caps. And correct me if i'm wrong, but i though that higher capacity moves phase distortions graph to the left which is good. So actually i need someone to confirm that i got it right, and if i'm right i'm going for bigger capacitors then.

Audyn is more or less a brand name. Capacitors of different design and quality level are offered under that name. http://www.intertechnik.com/index.h...UyNmIlM0Q=.html?hbasis=9&kat=Electronic+parts
The Visaton MKPs seem to compare to the Audyn Cap MKP radial.

Higher capacity is better, but anything much beyond about 3.3uF is starting to get silly. Look out for Jantzen X-Caps, they're pretty good value for polypropylene, at least around here.
So i will try this one: http://rcl.lt/index.php?id=2&lang=lt&begin=1&acc=show&fid=910&pcode=KPVA615/6&pmode=&frame=3 .
