help buying capacitors


I want to buy Black Gate capacitors for my Audio Note Kit 2 speakers that I am building but do not know anything about electronics. I see there are various type of Black Gate caps with non polar, standard polar, high voltage etc.

What type do I need for speakers?

Are they directional?

Where is the best place to buy black Gates?

thank you all and Happy Holidays...

agreed, blackgates are the most overrated cap in existence. or, that were in existence- they are out of production now, sold out many places. (though still many hoards left. but why bother? they are not worth it). A good idea is avoid electrolytics of any type/brand whenever possible.

not knowing anything about caps as you stated, you are better off letting someone else make the choices and do any mods. IMNSHO.
