For you Americans:

He used the C-word!

But seriously, please consider plastic caps. Polypropylen is not that
expensive and will make a better job than ceramic caps will. If not
polyprop there are several other good plastic caps to use other than
ceramics.

For some things ceramics is THE thing to use, I would even get picky
on which ceramic to use. However, ceramic caps does not belong in the
audio path. Where I fancy using ceramics I would not take plastic
caps, they just dont play the same ballgame.

Cheers,
