Real audiophiles -- be aware. You've been read the Riot Act.

They haven’t used point to point wiring since the invention of the printed circuit board. 

@schw06 I think your post is spot on.  I also think 'awesome' is subjective and changes over time.

I've had McIntosh gear and while I have moved on to other brands it was because i was looking for something I found during auditioning for an upgrade. 

My McIntosh stuff sounded great, brought me hours (perhaps months, or years) of listening pleasure.  I get the same joy with my new gear and also visiting a friend who has a nice system.

I salute everyone who enjoys music and think there are many great manufacturers and DIY kits for every type of music fan, listener and audiophile.

I have observed that in this hifi hobby so many peeps have really odd ideas of what good quality is in equipment.

@troidelover1499 ,99% of solid state gear regardless of price uses PCB.  FYI, not everyone embraces tubes.  What high quality equipment do you have?
