    Question Upgrade from Roksan K3


    I have a Roksan K3 and, as much as İ enjoy its full. round and cohesive sound, I would really like something a little more forward and with more detail.
    İ narrowed my option between 3 options: Roksan Blak, Unison Unico Due and Rega Elicit-R. I do not have the option to demo any of them. so İ must rely only on web information. My speakers are Amphion Argon 3L. İ would really appreciate your help.
    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome.

    Roksan is just trying to get back into the U.S. market so I'm not very familiar. However, I have doubts that Unison or Rega would provide what you are looking for. Have you access or heard Naim or Cyrus? Either may get you closer to what you want. There's plenty of options but I'm trying to think what may be in Europe. T+A if in the budget is another good choice. If wanting to experiment with tubes, maybe check out an Octave Audio integrated. Thinking Bel Canto could be another brand to listen to.

    Of the options you listed, I think the Roksan Blak is the logical upgrade. If you're near a Hegel dealer, that's a brand I'd seriously consider.

    Depending on budget brands that I have heard that should be available in Romania that are very well respected amplifiers are Goldmund, MBL, and T+A.
