Whenever I compared caps I found that - provided I avoided obviously
daft choices like cheap electrolytics of too low/variable a value -
no-one could actually tell one cap from another purely on sound.

I went through a few months of capacitor testing, and the teflon or
polystyrenes sounded consistently better to my ears, so since then I've
used them for all small values, and polypropylene for all larger values.

I recall hearing various similar comments from some of those who
subsequently failed to be able to hear any differences when they had only
the sounds to go on in the past. This was 20-odd years ago, though, so
perhaps ears have got better - or caps got worse - since then. :-)

Slainte,
