Offered is „Xerxes X“ by Roksan as second-hand device from the category „Record Player Drive“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 6287429377 ends on 27.10.2026 at 18:34 o'clock.
At €1,250, this Roksan Xerxes.X listing sits right at the typical used median for this 1995 heritage model, making the price fair rather than a bargain or ambitious. While the Xerxes.X was replaced by later generations, its status as a 10th-anniversary reinvention with a distinctive three-plinth design keeps demand steady, and current market data confirms €1,250 is the standard second-hand value.
This turntable is well-regarded for its belt-drive precision and solid plinth, delivering state-of-the-art sound in key areas that still competes with modern designs. The listing represents a genuine buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a clean, original-owner example of this cult classic, especially since the Xerxes.X is now a rare find compared to newer Roksan models. With no material caveats noted in the clean listing, the fair price and reputable condition make it a worthwhile upgrade for a serious listener.

Roksan emerged in London in 1985, founded by Tufan Hashemi and Touraj Moghaddam, two Persian-heritage graduates of Imperial College London and Queen Mary College. Dissatisfied with prevailing turntable designs, they launched the groundbreaking Xerxes platform at that year's hi-fi show, challenging traditional construction and establishing the brand's reputation for radical innovation. Named after Roxana, daughter of Persian King Darius, Roksan infused its identity with cultural roots while rooting itself firmly in British audio engineering.
The brand specializes in high-fidelity components, starting with its iconic analog vinyl replay systems like the Xerxes turntable and Artemiz tonearm. It expanded into amplifiers (Kandy, Attessa, Caspian series), CD players, digital sources, and speakers, blending timeless design with robust engineering. Now hand-built in Rayleigh, Essex, under the Monitor Audio Group since 2016, products like the latest Caspian Series 4G cater to both vinyl enthusiasts and modern streamers.
Roksan occupies a distinctive niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a stylish British disruptor, prized for its boundary-pushing sound quality, reliability, and unconventional aesthetics. Far from mid-tier or vintage obscurity, it commands respect among discerning buyers seeking musical soul over conformity, with a legacy revitalized rather than diluted by its corporate home.
