Converting from UK power to US power


I found a used Musical Fidelity A3.2cr amplifier for sale in England that I would love to have because it’d be the perfect mate for my Musical Fidelity A3cr Preamp.  But it’s wired for English power.  I’m told I’d have to get the transformer rewired.  Anyone know how complicated and expensive this might be to do?

The other option is to buy a step up or step down transformer and plug into that.  That sounds fraught.  

Opinions most welcome on either of these options.

Some pieces of kit can be converted at minimal cost. I have converted from US to UK voltage on a few occasions, without difficulty. It usually just needs an engineer to connect the transformer output to different taps on the transformer.

Kit has to be made for world markets these days, so the same unit must service all markets
