cheaper coupling caps on a budget

hi, I don't know about you but it seems that all of the latest capacitors out there have become so expensive that I can no longer afford to try them. I am looking for a coupling cap for my tube amp that has high resolution but without grain or glare, I dont really like oil caps , they sound to rolled off for me. Does anyone know of a cap that sounds as good as [ fill in your favorite expensive cap here ] but that is cheap, I will need 8 of them, and they are 2.7 value, at 500 volt, thanks, chris

Since you want save money.How about capacitors made by ELECTRONIC CONCEPTS.Polypropylene capacitor 3.0,600 volts.That is close to original value of 2.7.Since space is an issue these are few milli meters smaller than mundorf 2.2.For 8 capacitors about 80 dollars.This is where i order all my capacitors.They are located in USA.If you want more info just send me a email.

Thanks

Not cheap but very good. Jantzen Superior Series Z- capacitors. 2.7 at 800 VDC $17.64 a pop at Parts express.
