chuck	what brand foil caps? ive tried the jensen/audio note super expensive copper foil caps in low power circuts and they seem to not be able to do what they can do in high voltage amplifers, sometimes they even sound worse then cheap caps. maybe there overpowered or something, sometimes they were 640v caps i had lying around. do you have any brands youve found that work well for this application and sources to get them? thanks again! chuck
