RE: Black Gates were (only) ok?!!! & Audio Note

I used Black Gates in several mods I've done and really miss them. Nothing I've used since, including the Kaisei caps, sounded as good in the signal path. I've even got an amplifier power supply with 160,000uF FKs. I've never had any go bad sitting on the shelf either.

If anyone's got suggestions for a good electrolytic let me know (I haven't tried the Mundorfs).

I really appreciate that Audio Note tries to innovate parts manufacture. I don't care for the Kaisei's (oily sounding), but I really like their standard Niobium resistors. They're a little more natural sounding than Z-foils which can be a little lean and even hard sounding if you use too many.
