Aaaaaaaaaaargh, I had an amp from an established
company, can't remember
this company, everything was connected by wire-wrapping, so indeed a
good discrete circuit, but the wire-wrapping did cause defects. Btw. I
prefer good old leaded solder, but leaded solder in Germany isn't
allowed anymore. We should start to wire-wrap all electronic devices for
our politicians here :p.
Wire-wrapping... *hehe*
For my university project (some puny 15 years ago ;-), I decided to have some
serious fun, and designed a MIDI synthesizer around a 68HC11, a battery backed
RAM, some EEPROM and three 8580 (newer SID) chips. 700 pins, all wire-wrapped.
And it even worked! :-)
Actually, it's quite swift and effective method; it's the cutting and
stripping of the wires that's a PITA, unless you have a really good tool -
which I didn't at the time! :-D
