Step Down transformer W/Asian/Euro Integrated amps

I am looking to purchase an integrated amp from Asia or Europe that only comes in 220 volt (I live in North America). Is anybody out there using a step down transformer with a 220 volt integated or amp? I have heard that this is commonly done with cd players. I am not sure if it will work with an amp. Will it degrade the sound? Any advice would be helpful.

does anyone know where can I buy a step down transformer? I own a couple of accuphase things that run at 100v, and I have 120v at the house.
would it do them harm to plug them directly into 120v when they were made for 100v? where can I find a step down transformer? thanks
