I second what everyone wrote here.

Personally I never buy unbranded or unknown brand or cheap chinese caps just for assurance and confidence.

I also never buy extremely expensive, audiophile or "Audio caps".


For Electrolytics I always use Panasonic rated at 105 (any series)

For Film caps, I use Wima, Panasonic, Phillips, Mallory or Vishay

For Ceramics I don't check brands I use C0G/NP0

For Polystyrene, I use whatever the supplier sells


I'm not doing this because I think the caps sound better, but to be on the safe side by using a good standard brand and not paying an exaggerated price.

Paticularly with electrolytics, Panasonic lytics from Farnell are not expensive and the quality is really good
