Roksan Kandy Answers

I put a q on this ng a while ago about a Roksan Kandy III I bought
recently. Generally pleased with it - good punchy sound and goes
loud. Had a couple of issues though, and Roksan replied:
Phono stage: Really poor! Muffled, no 'sparkle' or bass. The best way
I can describe it is out of phase. Of course IMHO, and compared to
other stuff - a MF XLPS and Audiolab 8000a and 8000c. Roksan said: we
had to compromise on the phono stage because we put such a big power
supply in. Sorry, but there it is. Oh well ...
I have the same amp and I am very surprised at the quality of the phono.
Very nice bass output and nice treble.
Remote: takes about 3 stabs of the button from time to time. Roksan
say: change the batteries (er, they're new), and point it at a
particular direction, they're not sure which, but one way works
better than the other. Changed the batteries, tried it at every
angle, still the same.
Same problem with me. unless I get the remote in EXACTLY the right spot, it
will not work. I have to stretch my arm out to the left, raise it 12.5
degrees and ppoint it about 2 inches to the left of the fireplace!!
I don't give a damm though because the amp is so good.
