Softest, smoothest sounding capacitors you've tried?

Since I'm going for a very vintage sound (my preference), what caps have you tried (speakers or coupling) that struck you as super soft and/or smooth sounding (which would include the effect of being very low distortion). Resolution's irrelevant here. I need large values (2.2uF and 3.3uF), so Russian jobbies are out (already tried them years ago -- they were "OK")

Clarity CMR are smooth and transparent and add absolutely no coloration. Bypassed with 0.1uF Audyn TrueCopper they are absolutely perfect but I find the need to bypass less at small values.

All the fancy Mundorf’s add splash to the sound.

The Mundorf MKP are dark sounding caps with no splash.  Cheap so worth trying for the heck of it.
