View Full Version : WTB Roksan amplifier
I am looking to buy
A Roksan amplifier as
Have fancied one for years.
I heard one before and loved the sound.
I do not have the budget to buy new
So thought i would see if anyone
Here has one for sale.
Pm me if you have one.
Ideally with remote
And definitely must be in
Perfect working order
Thankyou.

Nice poem!
Just dawned on me what you meant
I think you mean how i wrote my advert.
Well i was born deaf and it was
Not discovered until i was 5 as by them
I was unable to speak.
I was then sent to a special needs boarding school which was a
Hellish experience.
So my education was poor
And this means my grammar is very poor.
So i apologies if my English is offensive
It is why i tend to avoid posting
As i am self conscious about
My poor grammar but English
For me is like a foreign language.
No need to apologise Jason. Your original post coveyed your wishes quite clearly, and in no way was your English "offensive".
Good luck with your search for a Roksan amplifier.

Bernie
Thankyou Barry for your kind words
I remember once on another
Forum i got what i will call
Hatemail from someone who
Had a go at me as he said
My English was hard to read and
That he was blocking me.
I actually had someone here message me
But it is collection only and i fully
Understand why as courier can sonetimes be rough.
Issue is im near Portsmouth and
This guy is in Milton Keynes
So 120 miles away and
As i do not drive not possible for me.

If you can buy a used example from a dealers they would ship it to you securely. Don't know what model you have in mind, or what your budget is, but Emporium Hifi's website says they have at their Kent branch a Roksan Caspian M2 integrated for £995.
I bought from Emporium Hifi before
And it was a nightmare.
Communication was poor and ut took
Me around 2 months to receive my item
As they sent it to the wrong person
And that person decided they wanted to buy it.
They did though send me a new version
Of the item i bought but it made me nervous
To buy from them.

Appreciate the heads up Jason - I was considering some speakers they had, think I'll give them a miss :)

rather more expensive, but Elite Audio have a Roksan Blak integrated for £1795. Over £3k new.
I think maybe my experience was a one off
But as said made me nervous
But they have been in business a long time
So you should be fine.
If you pay with paypal your protected anyway
My budget is £300 so yes above budget
I'm looking at either a kandy
Or a k2.
Andrew did message me sadly
No delivery and Milton Keynes is to far for me
As i do not drive.

I use the Roksan Kandy Ka-1 and it's a great amp Jason. Would you not consider buying off Ebay. There's one on there for £295 with a remote. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255557027216?hash=item3b8062c590:g:XT4AAOSwPpRielq V&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoE1O5ZY8gHRAjSZC
Thankyou for that.
I saw one on ebay for £210
But it looks abit bitten up on top
I'm considering that one.
I'm after paying around £250
As that is what i will get for my
Vista audio spark 2.

Hi Jason
Maybe an AoS taxi service could help with picking it up for you. Folks here often drive up and down the country and can sometimes pick things up along the way. I'll look for the thread.

Found it here.

I think these days people are slow to buy.
The reason i myself do not want a power amplifieris because i have no pre amplifier
Search over
Bought a roksan k2 blue tooth version
From fanthorpes hifi.
Really nice shop to deal with.
Well done Jason! "All's well that ends well." :)

You did say your budget is £300, and the one Brian spotted comes in under that. It might be £90 more than the one you've found, but consider:
It doesn't look bitten on top.
Price includes delivery, in secure packaging by the sound of it.
Coming from a dealer so will likely come with some warranty.
No brainer I would have thought.
True and i never wanted to spend
More than £300 but
I saw that £300 was abit unrealistic
But the one i got comes
With a little warranty and Bluetooth
Which i use for internet radio
As for podcast sound quality is not so important.
Buying from a dealer does give some peace of mind.
I will sell my amp and speakers and
Cables ect for £350 so if i get that
Means i bought the roksan for £70
Inc delivery.
Glad you got sorted Jason [emoji1303]
