Point to Point vs Circuit Board


I just read this about point to point wiring:

First, there’s the music’s signal. You spend a lot of money on interconnects. So why have the signal go right from the RCA jacks or speaker terminals into circuit boards with copper traces so thin you can hardly see them? What’s high-end about that?


I've now heard about point to point wiring in the case of tube amp companies (Jadis, PrimaLuna) and my question is does point to point wiring exist for solid state amps? When I look at images inside amps online all solid state amps seem to use circuit boards. Is there such thing as a point to point transistor amp or must they necessarily have circuit boards? If so, which companies?

Thanks

Valve amps tend to have much simpler circuits with very few large components - it can be quite practical to use point-to-point wiring with them.   In terms of solid state components, circuit layout is important and achieving small loop areas can be very beneficial. PCBs allow circuits to be made much smaller than would be possible with point-to-point wiring - which is desirable.  You would not necessarily be gaining improvement with p2p SS wiring and would certainly be adding cost - very likely unnecessarily and with degraded performance.
@three_easy_payments I see. Do you know of any companies doing point to point solid state?
It looks like as a one-off product these guys did an integrated that uses P2P in the amplifier section. Note the minimalist circuit design. Otherwise, no I can’t think of any offhand.
