Something I should mention is that I try to have at least the "decoupling" capacitor
and previous capacitor as all polypropylene.

Another is that although there are some sonic differences between electrolytic
capacitors, I find a quite wide sonic differences between polypropylene capacitors,
so one needs to be careful to obtain the correct ones.

Sonic differences are caused by:

1. Dielectric materials used
2. Type of conductive "plate" material used
3. Thickness of the "plate" material
4. Termination techniques
5. Type of lead material used
6. Size of lead material used
7. Combination of materials combined, whether "plate", termination, or lead

There may be more upon in depth reflection.


cheers
