Hi Winston,
Intertechnik Audyn capacitors sound good in speakers, but not in electronics. I have tried the Audyn Reference and copper foil.
The Mundorf and Jantzen sound good in both. For your tube preamp forget humblehomemadehifi - speakers. On audiocircle there is a big capacitor-shootout thread for capacitors in electronics.
The Supreme SIO are very heat sensitive, the SGIO a little less - failure. The SIO have more highs, the SGIO more midrange warmth. Both have no deep tight bass. Mundorf told me for tubes inside a cabinet, i should use the Supreme SG without oil. (also bass shy)
You want smoothness + high detail, that's not easy.
Try the great Clarity Cap MR - 630V. Neutral from top to deep bass, high resolution and great dynamics in micro + macro. A friend has used them for tube output.
Well if you want all the best - the ice on the cake, there's nothing like Duelund.
If your DC voltage is around 150VDC you may use the VSF speaker version. Duelund says they are safe up to 200VDC. Ask them.
All capacitors have a direction. Burn them 200 hours and swap direction.
