The term "sounds great" for me is opaque, first because I do not even think of using any electrolytic as a coupling capacitor (except in the one instance noted, where space just does not permit use of a film capacitor), which is the most likely way to influence "sound", and second because the term expresses the opinion of the author, and I have no way to fathom his preferences. I do agree that I also can find no fault with ELNA Silmics used in solid state power supplies, and I also use them galore in my vintage direct-drive turntable electronics. Push come to shove, I would also use the best grade Nichicons in these applications with no hesitation. The Nichicon Muse bipolar capacitors are quite interesting. I own a Sencore capacitance/inductance meter. For yucks, I compared the ESR of a 10uF/50V Silmic II to that of a 10uF/50V bipolar Nichicon Muse, and to my surprise the ESR of the latter was quite a bit lower. This lead me to sub the Muse in for the Silmic in that one coupling application I mentioned above, in a Beveridge direct-drive amplifier.
