As for the phono kits...
If you are capable of working in a DIY type situation and finishing the work properly, then there is no reason not to go in such a direction. But only if you have experience in doing your own work like that.

I'm curious how you deal with that, as I'd like to know, having shipped things to Columbia before.
this guy has good enclosures and also toroidal transformers.

the most expensive enclosure they have would work very well for one of Nelson Pass's power amplifier designs.
