Would you pay £772 for a used phono stage that’s usually bought by people chasing real analogue performance? On the evidence I can find, that feels fair to slightly strong rather than a steal: premium Roksan phono stages do trade well above this level, with the Caspian RPP reference model still seen around £2,200 new/sold-out and other Caspian separates sitting firmly in the higher used brackets, so £772 is not out of line for a serious Roksan box. Without a tighter model suffix and condition detail, it’s hard to benchmark more precisely, but it doesn’t read as overpriced.
That’s because these are generally valued for a clean, musical MM/MC presentation, solid build, and the sort of timing and drive that suits a good vinyl front end. If it’s complete, unmodified, and from a careful owner, the upside is simple: you’re buying into a respected phono stage without paying full-reference money. I’d only press for more detail on age, cartridge compatibility, and included power supply/box if the seller can’t show them.

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.
