So, there's two reasons why I have elected to go with either eyelet boards, or turret boards for my Soldano-50 50 Watt amp head build project, firstly, although I could go with etching a PCB, I'm not really geared-up to etch PCBs, secondly, from an ease-of-servicing point of view, eyelet boards and turret boards make replacing faulty parts easier, you just de-solder the faulty part and solder the replacement one in and you're done, with PCBs you're constantly flipping the board upside-down to desolder parts from it, the copper foil can sometimes de-laminate due to over-heating.

It doesn't really have anything to do with any of the supposed mojo-qualities people attach to eyelet boards or turret boards.
