imo and what i did > build the bottlehead foreplay preamp first -- you will get the soldering experience you need --- it is also a very good sounding preamp besides being reasonable cost .
then do your tube amp kit ---- i did the audio note kit one.
for newbies, after getting the mechanics down(soldering etc) , the real key to success is how well the construction manual is written -- very basic with lots of pics is best ---- from there its like painting by number . Of course a web site with member support helps greatly also ........
