You just said the magic word from "YOUR EXPERIENCE"you wouldn't use a vintage paper in oil or teflon cap but tell this to the many people that do.I know a few audio amp and preamp manufacturers and the reason many don't use them is not because of sound quality,it is because they want caps they can buy off the shelf 10 years later. Cary used to use a lot of Vit Q caps and other vintage caps in certain places in their amps .When the supply ran dry,he switched over.Paper in oil caps have definite advantages if used correctly.They are very linear and stable with frequency change and Steve Bench shows this in his testing.
I'm sure a lot of people would love to have a Sherwood or Mcintosh tube amp with all Jensen Silver foil or Vcaps teflons in it but you would be looking at 4 to 5k in caps alone and that would be ridiculous for what you think you would gain.
