HELP shielding vs non shieldind of pots on PCBs

looking in side my avalons and other good gear ,

im seeing that most gain and control pots are just left as traces on

the circuit boards , vs point to point wiring where as most of the

conections going to potentiometers are sheilded.

are there any rights or wrongs of laying out a circuit board

with all the pot conections embeded with-in the design

or is it better form to "lift" the pot conections off board with shielded

wire at the conection points then reconecting at the destination point.

thanks if any one can comment , im rather torn with this in my designs

of pcbs.
