[sdiy] "Boutique" capacitors

hello Guys-

I've been reading about the Black Gate & Rubycon
capacitors on various high end audio/stereo/amp pages
for the last couple of months. I recently came across
a page where they had a huge variety of them for sale
at pretty reasonable prices... I've seen places where
people talk about replacing a couple on PC sound cards
and having an improvement in quality. as well, people
have gone on and on about the quality and improvements
in sound when they're used in amps and all.

I'm wondering- do you think they'd be good (i.e.
provide quality improvement) if I used them to replace
caps in Oscillators, Filters, and VCA's?

I would think if they improved audio quality in those
other things, that they could provide the same
benefits in synth modules. But, I don't know enough to
say... thus I'm asking this wonderful base of
knowlege. 

If they would make a difference, what caps would you
recommend replacing? which parts of the circuits, etc.


Thanks a lot for the insight- I really appreciate it.

Best Regards,
s
