Can you identify this Roksan Caspian amp?

Hi Guys,

Can anyone identify for me what version of the Caspian this power amp is. I've been told its not the M1, so its older than that at least. I purchased it out of haste on ebay for £255. It apparently has not been used, but has had a recent service to ensure it is working as it should.

What model is it? I'm hoping there is a keen Roksan eye about.

Also, have I over spent here? A gamble I know.

Thanks everso for your help.

Ta, Joe

No idea what model it is but i don't think you have overspent on it ;)

Obviously the seller bought both power amps secondhand so he wanted to make sure the unused one was up to scratch when he sold it. I'm not sure what a service would cost but the low 3 figures springs to mind even if nothing needed replacing ;)

I'm sure i remember seeing power amps like that new for upwards of £700 new a good few years back, so what you have there is a manufacturer serviced power amp that should be good for 10 - 15 years...

Sounds good to me, lets hope it sounds good to you :)

Thanks for the reply, Im hoping good things. The fact its had a recent service is good I guess. Hopefully a Roksan expert will spot this.

Looks like the first series Caspian, a really excellent amp, we sold a couple just a month or so back. At that price you virtually stole it :)

Thanks guys, Im feeling far better about my purchase. Looking to use it with Beresford Caiman, working as dac/pre. Speakers are new EB Acoustic EB2. Can't wait.

Hi Salty,
Yep, first series Caspian. Imported a few of them when I was the Roksan rep here in Brazil. There was also a preamp and CD player in the series.
Cheers,
