All of the brands that are not Japan ones are proven junk.... Of course with some small exceptions....
There are alot, and I mean alot of American and other none japanese companies that make good caps.
Infact you hardly see anyone use Japanese caps in vintage speakers or 50/60s tube amps. Large scale military grade and caps used by the power companies are almost always made in American or in Europe. Its the Chinese caps you have to look out for
