We've had Caddock resistors available since 1987.
We've had to build our own custom wire to do the hookup inside our amps and preamps.
We figured out that power cords and fuses were affecting the sound a long time ago- when the MA-2 was designed in 1989, we set it up with a larger cartridge style fuse as they sounded better than the usual stuff. In addition it uses dual power cords on each chassis to minimize the AC power wiring. The MA-2 was meant to be a flagship and had all the tweaks.
The newer Teflon caps are definitely better than those from 17 years ago!

What about metal film resistors. When used in right positions they can really sing.
Passive preamps with attenuators are also a biggie that I like.
Metal film resistors can also really sound like shit when used in certain places.
A lot of people (myself included) believe they can make a piece of gear sound harsh when used in critical places. The guy that rebuilt your Sherwood (Mike Samra) is a big believer in carbon resistors as he believes they sound a lot more natural than metal film.
Maybe Mikey will chime in here.

We have found that not all models sound the same either!
The Caddocks are expensive so its an option. We have metal films made custom for us if the Caddocks are not being optioned.
