I am reluctantly selling my beloved vinyl setup and collection(not in this ad) due to a house move and other circumstances.
The setup is comprised by Roksan Xerxes 20 Plus turntable, Roksan XPS7 power supply/speed controller, SME 309 tonearm, Audio Technica AT-ART9 cartridge, Anatek MC1 phono stage and acrylic dust cover for the turntable.
The turntable(plus the XPS7) was bought in 2016 after the first owner decided to buy another one(in rosewood to match something else, i think, my memory is a bit hazy on this). The maple matches my loudspeakers and the Hutter Racktime rack rather well. In top cosmetic and perfect working order. Serviced regularly, initially by Midland Audio X-Change, then by myself after i got the hang of it. The turntable comes complete with its original(and mint) Roksan carton box/packing/manuals/accessories and an acrylic dust cover. The SME tonearm mount was ordered by me from Roksan.
The magnesium SME 309 is the latest spec with SME V bearings, bought brand new just before the final price hikes to 2450 pounds and the discontinuation of the SME tonearms without decks. It comes with receipt and its original(and mint) SME carton box/packing/manuals/accessories.
The ART9 cart has around 200 hours on it, bought brand new. It comes with receipt and its original(and mint) Audio Technica packaging. I had ZU/DL-103, Kuzma CAR-40 and Koetsu Black before it, all carts sublime, yet different.
The phono stage is older than the other items, but it is in perfect working order and i have the packaging too. It is fully discrete (no ICs in the signal path), solid state class A, zero feedback phono stage with 67dB gain (generally outputting in the region of 2v line level) that is designed to work with cartridges of 100ohm impedance, but it is more than happy with units of significantly more or less than this figure. And the 0,5 mV output voltage of the ART9 is as fine as the lower output of my previous carts. The MC1 outlasted other stages, i don't think that anything that retails for less than 1000-1500 pounds today can match it in a well-sorted setup.
I am happy to discuss any details, to send more photos/videos and any potential buyers are more than welcome for an inspection and a demo(i live near Wanstead). I will throw in the Argentum Mythos interconnects. I am selling all items together for 3900 pounds on collection.
