Step-up/down transformers degrade performance?


I live in London & want to buy American gear. Problem is current here is 240V. I've been advised to buy step-up transformers to attach to the units.
Has anyone any experience with these & how they affect performance of components (esp. CD players).
Would be grateful for any advise.

If your transformer is of good quality there is no degrade of performance. If possible try to install the transformer within the unit's housing - that spares you any special powercords.
Good luck!
