With electrolytics you want to use good brands.
With films....I guess it doesnt matter as much.
Most hobbyist businesses that sell them have some noname yellow caps and so far I havent heard complaints. I just bought some.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
