I recently had a lot of fun making up a cheap retro "ipod dock" for my teenage daughter getting a Trio KA1500 amplifier and Trio KT3300 tuner combined with my old mission 760i's. It looks quite sweet, certainly more appropriate for a girl than black 90's stuff and gives a really nice warm 70's sound; giving me nice fuzzy memories of hearing similar kit from when I was a kid at my mates houses. I've kind of caught the bug for collecting more Trio/Kenwood gear but at the slightly more high end for myself; but have noticed that the Uk sellers on ebay tend to have mainly similar entry level to my daughters kit compared with the US which usually has a lot more exotic higher end "Kennie" kit.
Does anyone have any experience of buying similar kit from the US? If so is it a good idea or full of additional pitfalls? My inclination is as I'm in no major hurry to keep looking for the occasional UK based item but I wanted to ask for a few opinions in case I'm letting some really cool kit go by which I could be bidding for.
