Dekay, the amp is fully point to point . The boards you see are most likely the filament regulation. It is a discrete design. He works with a few people , Gordon being one to make those to ensure ultra quiet operation. A lot of amps that use antique tubes need him pots to make them quiet. This amp doesn’t. You can put your ear next to the tweeter on a 99dB efficient speaker and it is dead quiet.
Matt was great to work with. It was an easy choice to have him build me another unit. The preamp he is building me is even more anticipated because I know the quality and sound first hand. You will never see either one of them for sale, I am sure of that.
