Kandy L.III Integrated Amplifier

The Best just got Better

Kandy integrated is now refined way beyond what would be expected of amplifiers
approaching almost twice its price! The new Kandy 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 ‘little’ fellow now sets a new standard for
affordable hi-end amplifiers in its class.

The new L.III Kandy integrated benefits from totally revised amplifier 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.

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.
