Heavy metal
well, color no but, while I have never conducted experiment on them, I tend to believe than metal composition and density can make a difference.  
Have you felt in your hand the housing of an original Fuzz Face?  
What would you choose to host your beloved circuit?  
this or a small Danelectro plastic box?  
 
I am not going to be the fussy fuzz preacher here, but when you build your own device, you really want the best parts.  
 
I have started to believe to this kind of things when manufacturers began to use low quality components in their amps or effects, having SCIENTIFIC PROOF these won't change the sound, and ended up with tonal shadows of their ancesters.  
 
What would you choose?  
An original TS808 or a soundtank TS5?  
 
About the A and C calculations, let's say it is much more simple than this.It is a sort of hierarchy of the components depending on their role in the circuit.Just like a painter who has an order for the colors.
