RE: Kit 1 or Kit 2 High Frequency Filter Capacitors (C1-C4): Does it make a difference sound wise?

If it was me, I would look to Mundorfs or if you can afford it, the V-Cap Teflons. I have swopped al of my AN caps out for V-Caps, and the sound is more transparent with stronger dynamics and bass.

I do think Peter sorted the issues with the newer Mylar caps though, but by then I was fed up with 3 x failure situations. In my case it led to DC leaking through to the volume pot (static noise). Thankfully didn't blow any tubes!

BTW the Mundorfs and the V-Caps are VERY load and heat tolerant, important in a Valve amp IMHO. Go Mundorfs if you are tight on money. The V-Caps are REAL nice though, and remember, the cap change will alter the sound more than tubes or interconnects or resistors. For me it was the better.
