What capacitors are worth

tantal capacitors are worth removing them, but you will need a lot of them to collect a quantity worth selling. So the price I get from my dealer is 50-80$ / lb.

Are "audio grade" power supply capacitors worth it? : r/diysound

ESR can be usefull actually. It dampens resonances in power supplies and decoupling circuits that use both inductors and capacitors. I think capacitors also can make a difference. However the distortion levels are incredibly lower (~ -100dB, that is below CD quality!) if the capacitor is placed in the signal path.
