Hello all, I'm looking for opinions on capacitors for power and audio
filtering. I'd like to replace some electrolytic caps in some old audio
gear, so since I'm tearing it apart I want to put something good in there.
I know caps are notorious for being very cheap, so I want to know who
makes the nice ones. I have a couple different applications: - power
supply filters in a low-power (15W) supply - audio filter in recording
equipment (some of these are ceramics as well)
- tube amplifier caps (I just threw this one in, I am not too hopeful
about it)

Just get capacitors that meet the original spec, and you'll be fine.

Something like this might help you learn what's "important":
