The ones I'm particularly interested in are the WKZ 'Heart of Muse'
types. They have very long life. For the capacitors to retain their,
um, 'magic' they have to be used regularly. If they're not used for a
few weeks, then they need between fifty and a hundred hours in circuit
to come back to life. Keeping capacitors on the shelf for a long time
won't hurt them--they'll just need to go through the burn-in process
from new, i.e. about a hundred hours in circuit.

Devil, you forgot the part where you dab fresh chicken blood on the
capacitors to make them sound good.
