Point-to-point wiring (1) eliminates the sonic signature of a circuit board (copper embedded in a dialectric or varying quality, teflon being the best but most expensive alternative) and (2) can use higher quality wiring than the copper traces of a circuit board (e.g., silver in teflon, cryo treated, directionally installed). When both are well executed, the point-to-point wiring will typically have superior sound quality. That being said, their are some extremely high quality, SOTA, components that use circuit boards. The cost of labor in point-to-point wiring will add dramatically to the cost-to-manufacture of the component.
