@three_easy_payments I see. Do you know of any companies doing point to point solid state?
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

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. http://www.ptpaudio.com/blok20 |
Even in the tube camp, not everyone will agree that point-to-point is superior. You can spend well into six figures for an Audio Note amp, and it utilizes printed circuit boards. I don't think this was done to cut cost, as nothing else in their designs suggest a cost-cutting mentality. These amps sound fantastic. |
