More than 50% of the small number that I owned failed. Worse still, they failed short-circuit, enough to blow-out the protection fuses, without overvoltage. I am not surprised that Elna stopped making them!
I would not recommend them for any circuit, since all stock is now stale (more likely to fail early), and definitely not in cathode bias positions.
Rod,
I like Nichicon KZ series parts in cathode bias bypass positions.
Nichicon offers other series 'lytics that are supposedly audio grade. Some of these parts carry an attractive 105o C. rating.

Hi Eli,
I've used the KX, in high voltage, for supplies, and other Audio-specified types. Nichicons in general, even the humble VR, are always a top choice!

i use Rubycon and Nichicons in many of my builds.....
surprisingly, the Elna Cerafine 470ufd/450 volt main filter caps still lives....
