I would really LOVE to know your thoughts on present establishments on the Lane and suitability of newcomers to the area... no really I WOULD. You quite clearly have strong views although perhaps you should try expressing them with a more polite manner and use or language.


Any shop opening up round here has my best wishes. Its a dog eat dog world out there and if they survive then good on them (tat or not people still buy from them)

Richer Sounds is always a good place to waste some time - and the staff are on the whole much, much more knowlegeable compared to ones in Dixons, etc


Not sure if LL is the right place (agree about the footfall comment) - but I'm all for some more variety shop wise

Dulwich Hi-Fi Station is at No 11 Lordship Lane, near the EDT.

It's got loads of hi-fi equipment (naturally), and a helpful knowledgeable owner. We bought a difficult-to-find stylus from him only the other day, and he was happy to let me take it away without paying, to see if it fitted, and said just drop the money in later or the next day.

I've nothing against Richer Sounds at all, but we already have an independent Hi-Fi store that could do with our support.

Why not try popping in there, it's what community is about, no?

Cheers, Elaine.

One of the funniest threads on here (search for it) is where some diligent ED resident decided there was something 'funny' about the hi-fi shop.


Probably run by the same clown who patrols the neighborhood abducting children.


The present hi-fi shop is OK, they're not going to win any awards for range or brands that aren't the usual though. Which is why I shop at Richer Sounds.

Agree, I've had some excellent bargains from Richer Sounds plus extremely good customer service :)

Although there is what's been described as a perfectly good hi-fi shop already on LL the whole banisters and chained-off pavement thing is a complete turn off. It's just not very welcoming looking and if I'm shelling out decent money on hi-fi equipment in a shop (as opposed to online) I want that shop to be set up as if they've got my happiness in mind.


Richer Sounds is a bit like Netto tho.


So, how about a local friendly hi-fi shop without chains and bannisters?

Having spent some time in both in Netto and in Richer Sounds, I feel qualified to take this on.


Netto sells brands you've never heard, usually of questionable quality. As opposed to, say, Lidl, where you get brands you've never heard but some of which may be of decent quality.

In Addition, Netto 'sells 'em cheap' but 'piling them high' isn't of paramount importance. It's just cheap.


Richer Sounds rent small shops and fill them floor to ceiling with brands you have heard of. They can sell their stock cheaper because of lower overheads and by utilising their buying power to snap-up the massive surplus of unsold hi-fi gear floating around out there. That said, I don't know how they fare these days since the boom in online shopping.


Just don't buy their own-brand stuff. It's shit.

I'll say this for Richer Sounds: they've got a great extended warranty policy. Buy your cover, and if you haven't used it in three years, they give you the money back. Just got ?30 back on a dvd policy ? I was amazed. Thought there was bound to be a catch. So, yes to Richer Sounds; nothing sets off a living room like big black boxes of hi-fi. I don't reckon it will happen though; doesn't seem like their area, and it's only 10 minutes on the train from the London Bridge branch.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By Dave 3 · Posted

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
