This is in danger of being lounged... I just wanted to add a) that the hifi shop near the EDD always looks a bit more like a car radio showroom (the perspex and excessive neon puts me off) and b) OK, so gold-plated connectors may be a valid choice explained by oxidation, but how on earth can you justify _directional_ cables?

Yep... it does look a bit off-putting doesn't it? And last time I went in there, the stock seemed a bit limited (but it was a while ago).

I must pop in here, Julian Richer was one of my best friends for ages, and started selling hi-fi from home at 13. He proves the point if you sell good stuff cheap and look after your staff you will do well and I bet he hasn't suffered much from the credit crunch. He should now be giving lessons to others in how to do the same as he has, it's very simple. If you treat the customers and staff like friends rather than enemies they will look after you. I've worked in other shops and the attitude is rarely the same as his.

Yes KD but there is an old saying that goes "you scratch my back and I'll stab yours".

Agreed they have always been great for customer service which is a big part of why they have done well. That along with very aggressively priced kit. With regards to the margin and comments about "brands you have heard of" they actually own several of the brands they sell themselves e.g. Cambridge Audio, Mordant Short, Opus to name a few. They own a separate company to manage this side of the business and to look after the export markets. With margins so tight in the audio/electronics industry for a few years now owning the brand and exclusivity is a great way to go.

Richer Sounds is one of the best shops in the country, pure and simple. They sell high quality products at prices which are literally unbeatable. All the gear in my house was bought there at some point or another.


What's with all these comparisons with Netto? So because a place is cheap it is considered "low class" by some people.


What kind of clown would go out of their way to pay more to buy a product from another shop with better "social status"?


Such people really need to get over their pathetic and pretentious aspirational insecurities. Nobody is impressed.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
