Jensen reamp capacitor/POT questions

I'm going to build the Jensen version and I'm wondering what type of capaciter to use. The place I was ordering from had three types in this size so I just ordered all three for under a buck. What cap should I use or does it really matter?
They had:

Dipped Tantalum Capacitors (35V) - .1 µF, Dipped Tantalum Capacitor (35V)

Polyester Capacitors - .1 µF, Mylar 100 Volt ±10% Polyester Capacitor

General Purpose Ceramic Capacitors - .1 uF; DIAM: 5 mm; 50 Volt

Also, they did not have a 20K POT so I ordered a 25K POT. This would not be a problem for the impedence POT would it?

You have a link for the Jensen white page for this project?
Thanks!
and post more!

These are the only relevant links on the Jensen site I could find when researching the project.

In fact it´s a .01 cap and not a 001. Use a film cap there, polyester, polystyrene, mylar, polypropylene, etc...

Yep, your right. I miscalculated. .01 it is. So basically your saying any type cap will do?

preferably a film cap. Save the tantalum and the ceramic for another application, like PSU...

Sorry to be ignorent, but I'm pretty new at this stuff and I'm not familiar with the term "film" cap. Can I assume by your post that polyester, polystyrene, mylar and polypropylene are all types of "film" caps? Would you please elaborate on the term? Thanks in advance.

It's worth a read to get an idea of the differences between different types, & to get a little sense of where one type or another might be appropriate.

I think any type of film cap will work in this circuit! a polyester is probably the cheapest!

I never use the tone rolloff circuit, so a film cap, but you probably won't ever use it, so don't sweat it too bad.

Thanks Guys.

The cap in the Jensen-circuit ? It's the one in series with the 51 Ohms, correct ? So no roll-of or tone-shaping here, it's just there to keep lift GND and keep a HF-path going. So I'd say use a ceramic, it's cheaper and might be better suited than a film at the same time. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
