Unknown condition keeps this from being a pure bargain call, but at £575 it still sits below the £605 25th percentile, so on your recent comp set it reads as a strong deal rather than just fair value. It is also comfortably under the £808 median, which gives a decent cushion even before factoring in negotiation room.
That makes it a sensible buy for someone who wants a well-regarded older Roksan player with proper hi-fi credibility and likely solid musical timing, pace, and drive. The upside is strongest if it is clean, fully working, and comes with the original remote, box, or paperwork; with a disc player of this age, those details matter more than usual because service history and transport health are the real value drivers.

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.
