I also buy the vast majority of my caps (tubular caps, electrolytics, micas, safety caps, and 6000 VDC caps for electrostatic TVs) from Just Radios. I easily drop more than $1000 per year there for caps. Delivery time has always been very good. Nice to get the 10% discount for large orders.
Another good source has been a SCARS member who sells tubular caps from Illinois Capacitor. Very good price, but only a few values available.
I tried one other place which had a lower price on tubular caps, but I found some of them had short leads, which I really didn't like.
Although the electrolytics aren't some of the best known name brands, I have had zero problems with electrolytics from Just Radios.
I have had a few failures of new mica caps from Just Radios (noisy leakage at voltage well below rating). Right now I've been starting to buy micas and polystyrene caps at Halted Specialties (local surplus electronics store here in San Jose). They have pretty good supplies of surplus U.S.-made micas. Probably 10-30 years old, but they seem to be fine. Fairly cheap too.
