This is a fair ask rather than a bargain or an ambitious listing: at £347, it sits just above the £333 median and a touch over the £338 75th percentile from your recent UK comps. That means it’s priced at the upper edge of normal market value, but not far enough above the pack to look out of line.
That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean, fully working, and comes with the right cables or remote, because this model is generally well-liked for a smooth, musical presentation and solid CD replay rather than flashy spec-chasing. The upside here is mainly in condition and completeness: a well-kept example from a careful owner is worth paying up a little for, while any transport noise, tray sluggishness, or missing accessories would make this price harder to justify.
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.
