Xerxes Turntable - 1985

Xerxes Turntable - 1985

The Roksan Xerxes turntable, introduced in 1985, was a landmark in the world of high-fidelity audio. Designed by Touraj Moghaddam, it quickly became known for its innovative approach to turntable design, challenging the norms of the time. Unlike traditional turntables that relied heavily on suspension systems to isolate vibrations, the Xerxes employed a rigid, three-layer plinth system. This design minimised resonance and improved sound clarity by reducing the mechanical flaws that could degrade audio quality.

The Xerxes was praised for its precise engineering and exceptional build quality, featuring a unique decoupling method between the platter and motor, which further reduced noise and improved stability. This turntable offered audiophiles a new level of detail and musicality, earning it a lasting reputation in the hi-fi community. The success of the Xerxes helped establish Roksan as a leading name in high-end audio, with the turntable remaining a celebrated product in the brand's lineup for years to come.
