We are pleased to announce the new Generation Mseries-1 Integrated Amplifier and Stereo Power Amplifier.

Please note all Mseries-1 Integrated Amplifiers and Stereo Power Amplifiers with serial number 0115000 upwards have this specification. All Caspian and Mseries integrated and power amplifiers from day one can benefit from this upgrade.

Kandy L.III Stereo Amplifier

Kandy stereo amplifier is now refined way beyond what would be expected of amplifiers approaching almost twice its price! The new stereo amplifier sounds delicate yet powerful, far more dynamic yet so musical and easy to listen to. The sound stage and musicians have the realistic ‘sound’ and ‘air’ about them that is achieved by only some of the highest class amplifiers around. This stereo amplifier is derived from the new Kandy L.III Integrated Amplifier and sets the standard for affordable hi-end power amplifiers in its class.

The new Kandy L.III Stereo amplifier benefits from totally revised internals. The mains transformer and the AC circuitry are now moved to one side away from the amplifier main circuits thus dramatically reducing AC noise interference. After rectification circuitry, the power supply layout, distribution and tracking to different sections of the amplifier have been greatly improved.

Kandy L.III Stereo Amplifier can be used for multi-amping in conjuction with the Kandy Integrated to create a most wonderfully spacious soundstage bringing together all strands of details to produce a coherent whole leading to highly realistic and powerful presentation.

Settling Top Plinth problem of the Original Xerxes Record Player first released in 1985.

The cure and modification is very simple. We lift the bearing housing length by enough to ensure that the platter does not touch the plinth. This in no way adversely affects the sound quality of the record player.

Roksan provides the shims for lifting the platter and the fitting instructions.
