received the kit a week or two ago, built it last night at my local makerspace/hackerspace. some things to note, this was the first kit i ever built for anything and it was a breeze for me (never built a kit but have some experience soldering/amateur robotics). i wanted to build some mono amps, and i thought getting something with a moderately dense board would be a nice practice project first.
some things to note, there are no spare parts which is a problem for me because I broke one of the push switches handling it after soldering it (there are about 20 push button switches), and if you dont solder everything straight, the faceplate obviously wont fit and you will have to do a little rework. the directions for the second to last step, to attach the bnc connector, isnt great, it talks about cutting a wing on a collar off, and soldering a wire between two points- the pcb has a slot mount where you can just bend it and solder it right in without sourcing wire which i did just fine.
other thing to note, it came with a 2 prong euro power supply and i live in the states, so i have to score an adapter before i can find out if it works or i messed anything up.
was a pretty easy build, easy enough to do if you are a novice. might upload some pics later.
