This is an ambitious ask: at £271, it sits well above the recent comparable range, with a £208 median and a £240 75th percentile. Unless this particular example is exceptional, the price leaves little value for the buyer; negotiating closer to £220–£240 would make more sense.
The Kandy L.III is a well-regarded, lively-sounding player with good rhythmic drive, punchy dynamics, and a musical presentation that can make modest systems feel engaging. It is a worthwhile buy when clean, fully functional, and supplied with the original remote, but at this level the condition needs to be genuinely outstanding—excellent cosmetics, reliable disc reading, and no drawer or display issues. Otherwise, patience should find a better-priced example.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
