   Got kit from Musikding. Build is very tight and narrow, vertical resistors, and components very close together on the pcb so take time and some planing to solder, especially if you do the mods because there are some components on the other side of pcb. I couldn’t fit in 220uF and one of the 100uF cap because of very tight positioning, so I solder those on the other side of pcb as I was already doing all the mods so that didn’t bother me at all. Markings on pcb are clear just be careful because sometimes is hard to distinguish between 1 and 4, 0 and 8…a helping hand with magnifying glass comes helpful here.

   Bought the kit also from Muskiding – Same comments as Damjan. I am more critical though – I made mistakes in soldering order due to unorthodox component placing practices. And now revising many components is a hair puller – fortunately I many components as spares on my component library. PCB design itself is okay but this needs better documentation on assembly instructions: There really needs to be proper guide of soldering and component placing order. Also silk screening is confusing. Hard to distuingish numbers, component orientation many times. I could not also fit some of the larger electrolytics on PCB. With better documentation and instructions you would get 4 stars from me. Difficult and confusing this way – There should be at least some reminder that kit is demanding this way, not for noobs.
