Hello all,
I've recently bought a second hand Roksan Kandy mkiii amp, and I've been experiencing some problems with the phono stage. I'm using a Pro-Ject debut ii turntable (no built in phono amp).
When streaming music from my laptop, the Roksan sounds great. However, when I switch to vinyl it sounds muddy, dark, lacking in treble and lacklusrtre. So I decided to trouble shoot the Roksan phono stage. I connected my turntable up to my NAD phone amp and plugged into the line in on the amp. This gave me a great sound.
I have read that the Roksan phono stages are highly regarded. So my question is - is it likely that the phono stage is faulty in the Roksan amp? Or is it just not to my taste? It's not the end of the world to use the solution I've found, but if it is faulty I've half a mind to try for a refund.
Any advice welcome,
Thanks
Paul
