IMO same thing as with tubes. Components don't have a sound per se, only 
a circuit does. The values of external resistors/impedances vs internal 
capacitances does make a big difference for example. Try this at home 
folks: Inverting unit gain amp with an opamp. Vary R, with 10k, 100k, 
1Meg, or even 10Meg resistors. Watch it processing a squarewave signal 
and notice the differences.
