Any Roksan Fans

[Andrewjvt]

Just seen on Richer Sounds Website:

deal of the week: ROKSAN
OXYGENE AMPLIFIER for only £999

Just a heads up for anyone as its a saving of £2500 for anyone looking at amps.

never heard it myself

I'm personally a fan of their speakers not amps. Not heard the amp in question but was really underwhelmed by K3.

I had a Caspian M2 CD player a few years back and it was excellent.

The Xerxes 20 plus is still on my list of potential turntables.

Just had a quick look and the connectivity seems rather limited. Not sure why this was originally £3499? The literature seems to be all about it's style rather than it's spec. No dac or phono stage.

Would you pay £1499 or even £999 for this up against a Rega Elex-r or Arcam A29 or Hegal 80 or .... well there are quite a few options. Or have I missed something?

wasn't overly impressed especailly with the benefit of hind sight. Grounding issues, poor remote detection and a loose volume dial. Once bitten twice shy for me re manufacturers.

My current set up is head and shoulders above the previous Roksan/PMC 23 combo.

Even at the discouted price I wouldn't be keen.

A lack of inputs would be a turn-off for me.

 

[drummerman]

Not me.

They clearly vastly (!) overpriced the system in the first place.

Probably didn't sell any.
