One wonders what would be the case if the situation was reversed - capacitors of yesteryear were polyester film types, lasting virtually forever but became unobtainable and outlawed for some reason - the modern replacements being waxed paper. For those who 'modernised' their amplifier by fitting present-day paper types in waxed overcoats, devalue their amplifiers? And would they be sounding muddy and lacking in the clarity of the original?
Bear in mind that polycarbonate types are already obsolete, and some people pay heavily for NOS Mullard C296 polyester types!
