Moved here from the states almost ten years ago and brought our stereo system that included a Pioneer receiver, dual tape deck, turntable and cd player. It was very expensive when I bought it in the early 80's and I wasn't willing to part with it. Bought a "step-down transformer" at Peats in Dublin and have never had a problem with it. I just tallied all the voltage/wattage per component and gave the total to Peats and they advised on the best one. Word of caution, tho......I bought TOO MUCH voltage/wattage and everytime I turned it on, the circuit breaker would go so I had to return it for a less voltage. Also keep in mind that you will most likely never be running all components at the same time so no need for so much voltage/wattage.
