cheaper coupling caps on a budget


hi, I don't know about you but it seems that all of the latest capacitors out there have become so expensive that I can no longer afford to try them. I am looking for a coupling cap for my tube amp that has high resolution but without grain or glare, I dont really like oil caps , they sound to rolled off for me. Does anyone know of a cap that sounds as good as [ fill in your favorite expensive cap here ] but that is cheap, I will need 8 of them, and they are 2.7 value, at 500 volt, thanks, chris

Obbligato (via DIY Hifi Supply) are tightly wound polyprop capacitors available in copper jackers or normal. For budget capacitors they are some of my favorites.

As mentioned above, I would also check out Michael Percy. There are also several capacitor threads comparing different brands. Google "capacitor shootout" and "capacitor comparison".
