[QUOTE="Kindhornman, post: 236762, member: 13980"] U235, I won't attempt to answer any of the other questions but I think that the reason that most vacuum tube amps are built point to point is because the current to drive some of those tubes is much higher than you need with a solid state device. It would take a wide and thick trace on a board to equal to the cross-sectional area of a copper wire. I think that is the probable answer to that question. In solid state you are mostly dealing with voltage gain and not current and that is something to think about. Steven :thinking: [/QUOTE]
