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

Manufacturers today take everything into consideration - like who?

Have you opened up one and modified any?

Most components are built to a price point.  There are very few doing P2P wiring because of the cost.  I make a hybrid power amp that is P2P with bi-polar transistors.

So far I have not heard a product that uses a circuit that out performs P2P but hey I am always listening.

Happy Listening.
