I am down this deep dark hole and need help. Nichicon audio grade Elec Caps good eough for PL2000
Best to use all WIMA when Polypropylene Film caps Was ordering off of this BOM but started to think about other threads and past expiernce and this is when I fell into the deep dark hole, Joe or any one help me..............

Avoid electrolytic caps when a Polypropylene or other high quality film cap can be found to fit with the same specs.
The PL2000S2 BOM is good, but I sourced my PL2000 parts from Mouser.

stetter,

That BOM was created by me and is the list of parts that I used. It was only created as a guide which covers several different threads/builds here and then my own work. Other options are available and acceptable for the parts required.

As for the WIMA - I have a box of the parts noted in the other list and did not use them as the lead spacing was a challenge to make them work.

Thanks for the replies, I did not match up the part numbers between the two BOMs above and now see they do have a few diff part numbers.
I still wonder about the rabbit hole about Elec caps and brands

I think the consensus will be use quality parts. The Nichicon are good and as I recall, that is what GeorgeS used on his build. Mouser did not have the 390pF Mica in stock so I found some at Parts Connexion and purchased the Elna caps to make the order worth while.
