can i ask where you got your information?

Well, I have a Chandler preamp/EQ on my bench right now.
It's got PCBs in it.
-Put it this way, I'd wager my HOUSE on a bet that it's not point-to-point.
-And I don't gamble.
But then that's not a gamble... -It's a cast-iron guarantee.

A point to all of your questions?

I'd have to say that the sheer number of questions which you ask raise a red-flag in the first sentence is pretty impressive. -PCM70's using discrete op-amps? -Just one example that springs to mind.
Talk about focusing on the irrelevant.
This is not intended as a slam, but PLEASE try to understand what I'm trying to get across: posting questions with such a clear half-grasp of the importance of different factors SCREAMS that you READ about sound much more than you LISTEN.
You've READ or been TOLD that these things have an influence: point-to-point wiring, discrete topology, whatever. I'm not going to disagree, but as a tech I've worked on TONS of stuff and listened to it. As an engineer, I've recorded and mixed number one singles and albums. Do I care about any of the stuff you're asking about? -Not even slightly. I would estimate that the influence is about 1 percent. And it won't ever fix bad sound or poor playing.
Focusing to this degree (with such an impressively small post-count) on a seemingly 'random' array of scarcely-important details, in a forum which is more oriented towards getting things working and KEEPING them working WELL tends to suggest that:
1) You're new to this. (nothing wrong with that. We all were once.)
2) You're on the wrong track. (Take a hint. Listen.)
3) (This is the painful one... it's my personal impression, and not a hard fact by ANY means) you may be the type of person who isn't actually very well suited to this sort of subject. -Sorry.
I know I'm not a 'policeman', so I have no mandate to say that sort of stuff, but I'm reading between the lines of other posters, and I think I'm just expressing what others may also be feeling. Apologies to all if I'm wrong.
