Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone. As Tom figured out I'm
looking for both polar and bipolar electrolytics, so feel free to
suggest both.

To make this clear, I'm not looking for "audio specials" or
"audiophile capacitors", I'm just looking for high quality
electrolytics that are good for audio. Not all of them have to be, eg
due to high Q.

Low ESR and high temp ratings mean nothing, many manufacturers will
outright fake them, so I'm looking for suggestions of capacitors where
people had a capacitor in circuit for say 20 years and it was good as
new after 20 years (of course not in a situation where it's being
hammered).
