I use the FT2s in the larger Sherwood S-5000.Andy,keep in mind that the FT2s that are rated at 200v go 785vdc before they show any leakage.The voltage on these caps are way under rated.
The color and warmth disappears on the k40 over time as the cap breaks in.You still have a slight but not as much.Putting silver plated stranded leads on the K40s like I do with the FT2s helps a lot.
There is another Russian cap that is killer and that's the silver mica SSG.The biggest is .1uf at 500v but they sound fantastic.
