Any audiophiles in Israel or Europe here?

I’m not planning to, only to visit.  Audio gear is expensive there, at least this one audio dealer on eBay has astronomical prices for his gear compared to buying it in the US.

oldhvymec - I’ll be in Israel, not Iran.  Same here, I kept the Sabbath & still try to as well :)

willgolf - definitely going to check out WBF, thanks!  But I’m not ready to start over at this time.  Maybe in a while though.

gregm - once settled in & if and when I get the itch, I’ll check it out.  VAT is 17% and have to see what import fees are too.

They say, bring what makes you happy.  It helps to have familiar things when you are trying to acclimate to a new country and culture and I’ll have a lot on my plate, so I don’t want to start over and be spending time researching & buying new used audio gear.  Ive been changing gear a lot over the past few years, especially with the pandemic, and I’m trying to be over it.  
Sure, do I love trying different flavors of sound from different audio gear - yes!  Do I get bored looking at the same audio objects and want different looking ones?  Yes!  But with all that’s going on, I’m trying not have the bug.  
A friend offered to allow me to audition a bunch of gear in my home for an extended time.  Normally, I’d jump at the chance too... but too much going on now & don’t want to be spending time on this now.

Another friend recently acquired Krell MDA300s, a ML 26S, Theta digital and Wilson Watt/Puppies, soon to be all sold and passed up the opportunity to hear it all last week, just because I don’t want to be enticed, same reason the recovering alcoholic stays away from bars :)

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions though.  
Any recommendations on Step Up Transformers?  The one I got with the 220V Meridian 504 tuner hums and gets quite warm.  It’s a Phlimore ST-500.  I know very little about them.  Thanks!

He was the patriarch of two monotheistic faiths, Judaism and Islam; but that’s not really what we are here to talk about, right?
