Hi Jonas,

for non polar caps, film caps are prefered because it is said that they sound better. I think that there was a discussion on this in the forum. Do a search on the forum to see if it turns up anything.

There are pictures of various types of caps in the FAQ:

Also read in the FAQ "Capacitors - What kind of capacitors should I use?"

Enjoy!
