What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?

Amplifiers include tubes (if not solid state), big transformers, lots of internal wiring, Power supply, cabinet, gain controls if you're lucky, connections for incoming and outgoing cables, Computer chips,  Control panels, semiconductor boards, design choices, age,  etc.

Of all this stuff, what contributes the most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?

HI alexberger,

Understand that you have tried various ways for improvement on the cathode RC bias circuit. I experimented using the simple transistor/mosfet shunt regulator to replace the RC. First of all, the bias voltage can easily be adjusted. Secondly, it doesn't not require any bypass capacitor at all. 

I am happy to share the schematics with you.
