Bringing electronic equipment to the U.S.

Hi there,

Nigel is feeling very sad to leave his stereo in the U.K. when he moves here. Did anyone bring any electronic equipment with them and use a converter to use it? I've blown a few different things when using U.S. appliances in the UK using a converter so I'm worried the same will happen to him if he brings his stereo over.

Thanks!

Tell him to sell his stereo in the UK - he will be able to buy a newer one here for half the price. It really isn't worth the messing about, bringing UK electrical stuff here as you have to use a converter. Stereo's, t.v's etc are so much cheaper here and there is soooooo much to choose from.

See my post in the computer topic above. I took everything with me to the US. Everything was new and it all works fine over here!

My gut feeling would be sell and replace - it will cost less than shipping, regardless of what will and will not work.
