Hi Guys
CD has made elecrolytics for many decades and are well known for their quality. They tend to be a bit pricey.
Were I writing TUT3 today I would specify snap-mount main filters, as they are compact and have high values up to 600V. They mount on a clear space of the mounting card, with two holes drilled 10mm apart to accept the leads, which should be snug in the holes. On the underside, use buss wire to tie to eyelets, turrets, etc.
Many of the cap tone assessments - and indeed assessment of any component's tone - can be swamped by the effects of poor layout and wiring. With Galactic Grounding you will more readily hear the impact each component type has.
Going back to the first post of this thread: Voodoo parts are a waste of money unless it makes you feel good. Other brands of the same dielectric, for caps, will sound the same and cost less.
Have fun
