A stepup transformer will also take care of the Hz. I like Zaikesman's idea better though. Also, try placing a wanted ad here at the 'gon for a Power 2 that has already been converted to 240v. 
Should I leave my equipment on ?
Avguygeorge put it well. Experiment and let your ears tell you the answer to your question. From my own personal experience, solid state sounds better if left on all the time. I unplug my Rega Planet (which is typically always on) when I'm out of ...

Can I get suggestions for a tube preamp please?
A Sonic Frontiers Line 1 would fit the bill. Linestage only, HT bypass, single ended and balanced inputs and outputs, fantastic remote. You should be able to find one used within your budget.
