how to run a 230 volt line from my panel??

I am getting a piece of equipment from europe that is set for 230v- I called the manufacturer and they said it can not be rewired to 110 I should simply run a 230 line= i already have 12 gauge wire ran to the stereo room- Is it just a matter of getting a 20 amp 230v breaker for my elec. panel-
Can i use the outlets I have now and a USA type power cord or what do I need to do?- thanks

thanks guys- Ye sthis is a separate line just for this unit- there will be nothing else plugged into it as it will be inmy stereo closet- Just want to be sure on the hook up- If I get the 20 amp breaker and wire it to a 20 amp switch- can I just use the power cord I have now and cut off the end and just get a 20amp connector and am good to go??

this is a cdplayer- running in a house- Since I already have the lines run to the room and room in the box it seems the prudent way to go-yes I was planning to ecut the ends of my current power cord and buy the correct connections for a 20 amp wall socket-p does this seem to make sense to everyone or am i missing something- thanks for all the advice--
