I asked this question because the International caps perform, sound and feel
much better than Mallory and Sprague Atom in a Fender Blackface Twin, I dont
know why.
Printed on the caps : HTD : High Temperature Dynamics( for high temperature)
Could this affect the feel and sound in a Fender Twin amp?
Thanks Peter.


This is one of those things audiophools will argue endlessly on. Really
so long as the rating is correct there should be no difference at all
between one capacitor and another. "High Temperature Dynamics" sounds
like meaningless marketing speak.

Have you tried Mallory and Sprague caps yourself? They're well known
brands with a quality product that should perform as well as anything,
I'm curious as to how they sound or "feel" inferior.

I'll bet you that the original caps have lost value through ageing.
