Roksan Radius 5

[LoStrings]

I purchased this Roksan Radius 5 turntable about 6 months ago to go along with my Oracle Delphi MK II. I tried a couple of cartridges on the Roksan and finally settled on a Grado Reference Platinum 1 moving iron cartridge. I am happy with this setup, as it works very well with the Roksan Nima arm. Are there any other Roksan user's out there that can comment on their experience...

Very nice. I've heard their integrated amps and cdps and they are a first class act. Never heard their tts, but they are totl. All in all I love Roksan products, but unfortunately too rich for my P/T income. Congratulation, your entire system looks amazing... and hope you live in Charlotte, NC so I can come over and listen.

I'm a Roksan Radius 5.2 owner!!! Great table. I've had it about 3-4 months now.

I've tried Ortofon 2M Blue, Shure M 97Xe and a Roksan Corus Black carts so far. Not 100% settled on carts yet.

I don't have a great display for it yet. You did EXACTLY what I was planing on doing. Glass or Plexi base with a blue eld lights.

What other Carts did you try?
How did they compare to each other?
What is your general test records?
What Pre and speakers do you use?

Been a while… I am very very happy with my Roksan. I am currently using a AT33SE cart. So far it's the best I've found with the arm. I went through Dynavector 10x5, OC9mmII, Roksan chorus black, ortofon 2m black, m97xe w/Jico SaS, AT33E, AT33ptgii, and a few others. Lots of them sounded good and provided different advantages and compromises. Next I'm trying a soundsmith boheme.

I've upgraded amps, preamps, tube rolled and for a day here and there used other tables and speakers, I have found no reason to upgrade the Roksan, love it.
