Step-down transformer?

[Gajdzin]

EU is on 230V, just get a 2:1 step-down transformer and it will produce 115V for your US equipment. They are small and inexpensive. Search eBay or just google around

Beware of the cheap, triac based ones. Ok for heaters, hair driers etc., but NOT for electronics. You have to use a transformer for that.
Available in a whole range of wattages. Add all the power ratings from your gear, and buy one that can handle that power, and maybe a bit more. Available in any electronics parts store in Europe.
Bring your own 4-way powerboard from the US, because the step-down transformer might have only one outlet on the case.
Also, some supplies are rated 110-240 volt. Check the label carefully!! You only need an adapter plug or a new lead for those supplies.

Make sure its has a fuse or OL reset as well, in case you do overload it. You ca also install an inline fuse.

If you're using wall warts just buy new ones with the correct output voltage.

Just go to the main dealer in the EU country you are in and get the official PSU.

Personally that's the only route I would take.

yes. Or otherwise there is a good chance that it will work at your voltage anyway and all you need is a plug converter. It'll say on the wall wart itself what voltages it works at.
