Had it for a week now and enjoying every bit of it. Looks fantastic for it's age.

Sorry, in the pics you will see the A&R cartridge on my Rega R200. But now we have put on the Denon DL160, which is a massive improvement:gig:

This is the most musical and dynamic turntable I have ever heard and owned.

Sorry, I'm keeping this deck permanently as I like it very much.

There is another Roksan Xerxes on ebay (From the same seller I bought mines from) but it has an SME cut. And I think the PSU is an older version?
