and just so you know, caps don't help with "tighter" bass response. it may help with dimming lights, but it's a patch at best.

if you don't need glasses, then it really doesn't matter which brand you wear does it?

everything else being equal, i'm sure some are more well built than others.

Big caps are worse options than many small caps. 4 .5F caps is a much better option than a 2F cap. But in either case, they won't effect the SQ. Name brand is less important than specs. If you can find the ESR of the caps, lower is better.
