For very good performance and sound in electrolytic capacitors I recommend the Philips Low Loss (LL) capacitor, these capacitors have bigger bandwidth, resulting in better sound and power supply damping. They also are made with close tolerances, can operate at higher temperatures (mostly 105 °C, ideal for tube amps), have longer life and sound very good. Some of the Philips Low Loss als have a Q code (special quality), these capacitors are even bigger, better and faster.
For a typical appearance of the Philips LL types, please take a look at this picture. Some are called "bit less cosmetics" in their description. This means they have some scratches or colouration on their case. They are as good as the others for use, but if you want to put them on top of the amplifier, they are a bit less good to look at. Price also is lower.
For mounting clamps, please take a look under Mounting stuff.
