The Bugle was my first electronics project...before that I had never picked up a soldering iron. Can't say I did a terrific job on all my soldering joints, but the thing works and sounds very good.

I owned both the Bugle and the NAD PP-2 at the same time. The Bugle beat the PP-2 in a head-to-head comparison, so I got rid of the PP-2.

I recommend giving the Bugle a try. For a complete electronics moron such as myself, there are only a few things I would add to the Bugle's terse instruction manual:

1. don't install the opamps backwards (the opamps are the parts that look like little computer chips).
2. be careful to install correctly those capacitors which have polarity (i.e. + and - leads).
3. when you order the parts from digikey you may also want to buy the little plastic standoff feet for the Bugle--for some reason this wasn't listed in my manual's parts list.

If you're going to be doing the soldering yourself, there are plenty of soldering tutorials on-line...just do an Internet search.
