Xerxes 20 Plus Turntable
The Xerxes 20 Plus is the result of ongoing research, development and refinement of the ideas behind the original Xerxes Turntable.
The quality of engineering is visible through the compact clean lines and robust construction of the three-plinth, triple-layer isolation system.

Reviews and Awards:
The Xerxes 20 Plus Turntable is best suited with Roksan tonearms, but is compatible any other high-quality tonearms. It offers a powerful and expansive sound displaying a fine mid-band, fast deep bass, very smooth and open treble.
Musicians are firmly located within the soundstage, with tempo and musicality combining to create a compelling sense of live music being played. If your quest is to extract the most from your record collection, playing them on the Xerxes 20 Plus when fitted with an appropriate tonearm and cartridge is how best to achieve it.
The turntable is also compatible with any other high-quality tonearms, using an armboard adaptor.
