This is a well-known Roksan power amp, and at £240 it looks like a strong deal versus your used-market anchor: it sits well below the £306 25th percentile and far under the £451 median, so it’s priced on the cheap side rather than merely “fair.”
That makes it a compelling buy for someone after a muscular, musical solid-state amp with decent drive and timing, which is very much the sort of thing Roksan is respected for in this era. At this level, the upside is obvious if it’s been properly cared for and is working cleanly; I’d want to confirm channel balance, low-level noise, and that there’s no relay or thermal oddness, but there’s nothing in the price that makes me cautious on value.

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.
