Never said you couldn't- Mylar (polyester, not ethylene) has an easily measured signature and a huge amount of anecdotal evidence that people don't like them in some locations. It's still location and circuit dependent. Some places matter, some not so much. The caps I specifically referred to, polystyrene and polypropylene, differ from a theoretically "perfect" capacitor to such a slight degree that if critical listening detects a difference, one would question the listening process more than the difference in dielectrics. I won't discount differences in cap construction and strays to other parts, as they're usually on the large side. FWIW, I've recapped at least a couple things over the years.
