Roksan Kandy K2 Integrated Amplifier
Kandy K2 integrated is designed and refined to what would be expected of amplifiers
classified as hi-end and costing twice its price. The new K2 sounds far more accurate,
more delicate and even more powerful than its award winning predecessor the Kandy
L.III. True dynamics and musical capabilities of the K2 enhance the enjoyment and
provide insight to all types of music. The sound stage and musicians have the realistic
‘sound’ and ‘air’ about them that is achieved by the highest class amplifiers around.
Thanks to its superior design and use of highest quality components, the K2 sets a
new standard for true hi-end entry level amplification.
The new Kandy K2 integrated benefits from totally revised amplifier internals. The
mains transformer and amplifier’s 3 AC/DC circuitry are now separated and moved to
two sides away from the pre and amplifier main circuits thus dramatically reducing
noise interference. After rectification circuitry, the power supply layout, distribution and
tracking to different sections of the amplifier have been optimised and internal wiring
minimised to ensure all sections work at their best.
