Against the obvious alternative at this level — a new integrated for similar money — this looks like a good buy. At £1,027, it sits just under the £1,041 25th percentile and below the £1,058 median, so it’s a touch better than typical used pricing rather than a screaming bargain.
What makes it worth chasing is that this model has a strong reputation for punchy, controlled drive and a properly grown-up sound, so you’re buying an amp that should feel more expensive than the asking price if it’s healthy. In the used market, a clean example at this level is the kind of listing I’d move on quickly for if the cosmetics are decent and it’s been well cared for; the main upside is getting serious performance without stretching into newer-market compromise.

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.
