There is a relatively new capacitor for sale at all the bigger component shops here in Japan, (well Osaka to be precise) and I am really surprised that no one outside Japan has heard of or written about it.
Hifido (Japan's most well known vintage audio restorers / exporters) seem to use these a lot now. http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/eigyo/120504/index.html
They are more expensive than the Nichicon MUSE KZs, but are they better?
Now, I have an ongoing amp recapping which I have been slowly tackling for the past year as time has allowed. I have in the course of my seemingly endless trips to the parts shop have bought a few of these "Jovials" which I won't use after all.
So...who can I send them to for a proper testing and comparison.
The folks at http://tech.juaneda.com/ would be prefect.
They did this awesome comparison http://tech.juaneda.com/en/articles/electrolyticcapacitors.html
I couldn't find contact info on their site however
The name of the capacitor is Jovial. The manufacturer is Toshin Kogyo CO.,LTD
