This is a fair ask for a used K2-era player: at £329, it sits just under the £332 median and a touch above the £304 25th percentile, so it’s priced in the sweet spot rather than as a bargain-bin score. It’s not cheap enough to call a steal, but it is comfortably inside normal used-market territory, and not ambitious against the £373 75th percentile.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and fully working, because the Kandy K2 line is well regarded for musical, easygoing CD playback rather than etched hi-fi fireworks. The main upside here is value: if it’s original, tidy, and comes with the remote and any box/manuals, you’re buying a mature, proven player at a sane price. Just make sure the disc tray, loading, and playback are solid, since age-related transport wear is the only real thing I’d want checked on a player at this level.
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.
