Well better parts are the biggest benficiaries of technology improvments...particularly in materials science.
That being said, many think Paper/oil or paper/beeswax capacitors are still the ones to beat! Tubes have come back with a vengence. Horns have also re-exploded onto the scene. All are about as old tech as you can get.
Even the "new" SIT transistors usd by Pass come from ideas the Japanese had in the 70s (VFETs I think they were called).
Understanding of what makes a part a good part has improved I believe as well as the ability to measure it and characterize it.
