High voltage electrolitics: Mundorf M-lytic, Nichicon Muse NT, Jensen, or JJ?

For those small values, you can go for a film capacitor, or an oil capacitor. I've had electrolytics in the output stage of single-ended amps and all of them sounded mediocre, even "audiophile" ones. Going to film was a huge improvement.

depends where in the circuit they're used... except for JJ, I wouldn't put those anywhere.

I am partial to the out of production stuff myself. BHC, Aerovox, Siemens, Epcos, Shizuki (older stuff), Cerafine, and Black Gate.

One datapoint:

The 500V CDE caps have the same ESR as the 500V Panasonic TS caps, but the measurement is given at a higher test temperature. Same form factor as well.
