Well, I am pretty well up on capacitor theory, I am just looking for
some particular brand name recommendations for these applications. I
know that there's more to it than just V and C. There are about a
hundred million different kinds of caps in the digi-key catalog; maybe
someone here has tried some and has an opinion.

I should emphasize that these are all audio applications, so I want the
cleanest possible power and the best filter performance.

Well, the tube amp, I just want that to work without catching fire. If
someone knows a good source for replacement caps, I'd appreciate that
too.

It's yet another audiophool myth that 'capacitors have a sound'. (
excepting poorly applied electrolytics maybe )

Just buy a decent well-recognised brand for long-term reliability.
