Like Tre' says, the SSG is a superb capacitor, and in particular I would say it is "better" (more transparent) than an orange drop of the same value. One problem with SSG is that so far as I know you can only find them in values up to 0.13uF. I have a few of those, and they are almost but not quite as large as a pack of cigarets. That's the other problem, size. SSG in lower values are really good for RIAA. Typically they are rated for 350V.
