There are many who argue that there are sonic differences between the two. Point-to-point wiring is also easier to fix than a melted PC board, plus you can't do many mods to a PC board as you can with a point-to-point amp. <BR/><BR/>I think quality control is a also a big part of the debate. I have several point-to-point amps that sound great, but I also have a PC board based Mesa Boogie Blue Angel that also sounds great. <BR/><BR/>Hope the amp comes home better than new. :)point2pointnoreply@blogger.com
