Angeboten wird „Xerxes 10“ von Roksan als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3839252847 endet am 12.07.2026 um 14:24 Uhr.
The Roksan Xerxes 10 originally retailed for around EUR 5,000-6,000 back in its prime, making this EUR 3,000 ask ambitious for a used unit in "good" condition. Typical used Xerxes models trade in the EUR 1,800-2,500 range on specialist forums, depending on arm and cosmetic state—bargain territory would dip below EUR 2,000 with provenance. At EUR 3,000, you're paying a premium unless it's a pristine late-spec with upgrades; negotiate hard or walk unless the seller proves exceptional upkeep.
Prioritize inspecting the power supply, a notorious weak point prone to failure from age or mishandling—test it thoroughly for hum or instability. Verify the original suspension kit, armboard, and Xerxes arm (if included) are present and uncracked, as replacements are scarce and pricey at EUR 300-500 each. Check for play in the main bearing too; these '90s British icons shine when serviced but can disappoint otherwise.
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.
