How do Mallory polyester caps sound? Polyester vs polypropelene? Solen? Illinois?? Other??

I don't want the slightest bit of anything harsh or edgy when I listen to my tube amps. I tend to be EXTREMELY sensitive to fatigue and prefer a warm and natural presentation.

I've been told that I should be using Illinois polyester caps....but I'm having a hard time finding the smaller values without spending a fortune at VTV. So how are the Mallorys? Is there another brand I should look at?

Also, I'd like any opinions on polyester vs polypropelene in general. What is the most transparent, warmest, smoothest, most neutral cap to use without spending insane $$$?
