Electrolytic type- Sprague Atom & Panasonic FC series. Both perform well, no failures to date.
Polyproplyene type- Solen are better than electrolytics in B+ power supplies & inexpensive for a polyproplyene cap in higher values.
Motor Run Oil type- Any brand, best in B+ power supplies & even speaker x-overs if the space is available.
Polyproplyene & Teflon type- AuriCap (cheap) & Russian Mil Spec teflon sound good as coupling caps. Many think the AuriCap are harsh on the high-end, perhaps my ears are down 6dB on high frequencies. AuriCap have long break-in times to smooth out.
Sprague P716- quality bypass caps in power supplies at low cost.
