Scott,

Better believe it---especially for the filter caps. Never put in new caps and crank the amplifier to full blast until you've slowly "formed" the caps using a Variac.

I've seen folks blow out brand new electrolytic caps, by not shaping or forming them in, slowly, on guitar amps.

Tubes also change their tone, along with power transformers and output transformers (in tube stuff) as they get more and more exposure to current.

Not sure about sepaker cables or interconnectors, though.
