(?) Best P2P layout for pentode preamp tube

[ChopSauce]

Hi,

(Not) just out of curiosity :

- have you ever seen something clever as a point to point arrangement of components around a pentode preamp tube?

I could only see somewhat messy stuff - including mine ...

This was from a subgroup of users on the AX84 forum which they called The Gothik Ring approach to laying out a PTP amp.

Thanks for the picture and the pointer ...

EDIT : afterwards, I'm not sure it translates as a much better arrangement (for a pentode) when compared with the original Vox AC4 ...

whose main "flaw" seems to being "ruled" by the heater wiring.

This (original Vox AC4) layout finally seeming much more clever than it first appeared to me ...
