    Good Points: Clear, uncoloured and detailed sound, with a drive that will cause a permanent grin.


    Bad Points: Old reviews by 'experts' who read each others work. Don't listen to anyone about plinth problems. They've probably never had the pleasure of owning one.


    General comments: Top quality, fast paced and fabulously detailed sound from this
    Roksan Xerxes 1 turntable. Match it with a quality tonearm and enjoy your vinyl like never before.

    Roksan Xerxes 1 is a brilliant turntable that approached vinyl replay from a different angle to anyone else. Designed by a vinyl lover.
    Once properly set up it will go toe to toe with players costing thousands.
    Years of reviews talking of sagging plinths written by people who have no experience of it themselves but think they should mention it because they read it somewhere. Don't listen to anyone who says this is a problem.

    Although a collectors item now, the Roksan Xerxes 1 was for a while THE turntable to have. If you didn't like the Linn sound, then either the Xerxes or Michel Gyrodeck where the way to go. Nowadays the Xerxes can be picked up from Ebay for a reasonable second hand price. Hence this review.

    The turntable itself was my choice for its excellent portrayal of detail, firm grip on the Bass and with the right partnering equipment clean, well paced transients. Linn lovers beware, for the Xerxes lack ...
