I don't know if this is the right place to post this.
But as transporting large electronic equipment in a plane just got more complicated I want your advice.
I'm American but live in Paris.
Musician and sound engineer.
I will be acquiring the wonderful AKG 414 thanks to all of your recommandations as well as a Clarett 4 Pre soundcard.
Is it safe well wrapped in bubble wrap to transport these fragile and horribly expensive things in the luggage hold, inside for instance a suitcase full of clothes?
I managed to transport an IMac 12.2 inch in 2011 it arrive unharmed, but that is a little like gambling.
On the other hand with so many countries now on the "no fly list" with computers I'm sure (or am I naive?) that they take extra precautions to not have chimpanzees handle the luggage

Other choice is to just buy it here, but it is 150 euros more expensive and I am a Yank and prefer to buy in my home country.
Thanks for your collective wisdom.
