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 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.

Stereophile Reveiw of Roksan Kandy K2 Amplifier by Art Dudley, May 2010
"...the Kandy K2 distinguished itself as a clear, big-sounding, rhythmically accomplished amp... The K2 also performed impressively in various audiophile categories. ...The Roksan, which also happens to be built like a Schick Brithouse, offers very good value for the money, and I enjoyed every minute spent listening with it... Highly recommended."
