I spent several years in Europe both in the army and as a contractor. If you have access to a PX over there they sell step down transformers at a reasonable price if you have to buy one locally over there it's more expensive. There generally packaged nicely look for one that is at least 1200W larger is better. While this probably is not the best method it is the cheapest. Converting all your components can get pricey.
As for the 50/60 Hz this is generally not a problem. Only one of my components balked at he frequency. Cant remember if it was my Levinson DAC or Transport. Had to take it to shop to have some conversion done and again when I returned
