Compared with the obvious alternative—a complete used amplifier—the £11 asking price looks like a bargain, but this is only a single replacement knob, not a Kandy amplifier. The listing is comfortably below the comparable-market 25th-percentile figure of £314, though that broader dataset is clearly for complete Roksan items and is not a like-for-like benchmark. A comparable single Kandy MK3 knob has also been listed around £10.50, making £11 fair rather than suspiciously cheap.
The appeal is practical: it can restore the appearance and usability of a well-regarded Kandy MK3, whose substantial, tactile controls suit its solidly built, lively presentation. It is worthwhile if your amplifier is missing or has a damaged knob, particularly if matching the original finish matters. Before buying, confirm the knob’s exact fit, finish, fixing method and dimensions against your shaft; at this money, postage may be the largest part of the cost.

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.
