Here we have the Xerxes record player fitted with the Artimez tone and Shiraz cartridge. I guessing, if your looking at this you’ll already know more than will fit in this description box.Included in the sale is:+Xerxes player and two speed power supply + spare belt. Currently fitted with the piano lacquer finish on both the deck and power supply+Artimez tone arm with spare balancing weights.+Shiraz cartridge.+Additional Dark ash casing for the deck and power supply+Original documentation+Original Packing boxes+Needle weight meter+Needle placement calibration sheet.+Various other spares – see picture+Metal frame stand, Also made by Roksan
Im happy to demo, but my amps and speakers are on a container ship heading west, so you will need to bring your own.Buyer to collect as I don’t trust the postal service to be gentle enough.PayPal, BACS or Cash is fine as long as funds are cleared before you take it away.
Buyer needs to collect by Sunday the 17th of March as I am emigrating a couple of days after that.
Here is briefly what the internet says on it all. . . . .. . .
The Artemiz has been regarded by many critics to be the most open sounding, dynamic and detailed tone arm available.ONE PIECE ARM TUBE/HEAD SHELL machined from a single billet of solid aluminum alloy and undergoes sixteen CNC milling operations to achieve its overall construction, this ensures the arm’s rigidity and hence promotes musical precision.UNIQUE PYRAMIDAL BEARINGS lower friction and allow for rapid changes in direction and speed that tonearms experience.INTELLIGENT COUNTERWEIGHT SYSTEM dynamically optimizes the tracking force. Single point suspension minimizes the transmission of unwanted mechanical noise to the cartridge and the low center of gravity improves sound quality by inreasing dynamic stability. Additionally, optimum matching to the weight of the cartridge is achieved using different counter weight blocks.MOUNTING CLAMP SYSTEM maximize the force required to couple the tone arm to the armboard correctly (armboard is optional and not included).PRINTED CIRCUIT RIBBON FOR SIGNAL. To ensure excellent signal transfer and complete noise immunity from the cartridge to the 5-pin DIN connector, the Artemiz is fitted with a printed circuit ribbon in lieu of internal wires. Left and right signal tracks from the cartridge are shielded all the way by ground tracks on either side.HIGH DEFINITION CABLE included is specially designed to preserve the delicate, low level signals generated by the cartridge with outstanding fidelity from the tonearm 5-pin DIN connector to phono preamplifier RCA connector. Low-capacitance, microphonically isolated and shielded twisted pair of conductors. With Gold-Plated, high quality, custom built 5-pin DIN and RCA Connectors. Flexible termination of the 5-pin DIN connector provides mechanical isolation to de-couple the arm from the turntable. The overall length of the cable is approximately 1.3m and after clamping the cable with the included chassis clamp, extends from the turntable approximately 1.2m.Effective Length240mmOverhang17.5mmHead-shell offset angle22.9 degreeMounting hole diameter22mmArm board thickness4.5mm 26mmRecommended arm board materialAcetal (Delrin) or MDF, armboard not includedRecommended Cartridge Tracking Force1.3 3.0 gVTA adjustmentYes, via Arm pillar mounting adjustmentRecommended cartridge weights5-10 g (with standard counterweight)Effective Mass9 gHead-shell/Arm tubeOne Piece Aluminum AlloyArm tube attachmentTitanium coupling ring/stainless retaining screwBearing AssemblyUnique Pyramidal Roksan design silent running

Roksan Shiraz is a Moving Coil phono cartridge distinguished by what is arguably the worlds finest diamond profile stylus.Stunning DetailMade in Sweden, Gyger II has an ultra-sharp profile affording it great tracking ability with exceptional detail recovery and low surface noise. The body is constructed from one-piece aluminium alloy and mounted with a sturdy broadcast grade generator secured with triple spikes for exact alignment and coupling free from distortion prompting adhesives.CapacitorsUnwarranted cantilever movements at specific frequencies are restrained by the capacitors attached straight to the generator over the coil so they are able to precisely conserve the minute signal.Roksans confidence in Shirazs ability is demonstrated through their brave claim that following correct setup, the sonic performance cannot be bettered by any other product currently on the market.High Output MCAs a moving coil cartridge, the Shiraz achieves a moderately high output which is vital to producing an efficient signal to noise ratio and channel separation but needs to be matched carefully with a preamplifier phono stage.
