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.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Angelina · Posted

      Politician's moving from one party to another, especially when local is worth discussing. You have to wonder what they are driven by, and particularly in this instance, as their new party is moving in strange directions.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      To be fair to Sue, she doesn't have to explain or justify why she supports or wants to vote for any party. That is the same for everyone. We are free to decide which party best reflects what we think is important to us. Discussing the stances/ policies of parties, in a general discussion, can be done without targetting anyone commenting here. Politics is just a point of view at the end of the day.  Different things are important to different people, often for very valid reasons. Let's be respectful of that.  My opinion is that if say the Labour Party wants to understand why it is losing supporters to the Greens, it needs to listen to and understand the reasons why. That theme has been explored in this thread a little through the discussion around councillor McAsh. The same is true of the Tories losing support to Reform and the Libdems. Let's not also assume that every member of every party is completely on board with every policy of the leadership of that party either. You only have to look at how backbenchers have forced u-turns from Starmer's cabinet on things like Welfare Reform and WFA to see that.

      Bitten by dog on Heber Road

      As a compromise I'd be prepared to trial the reintroduction of dog licensing. The annual licence fee would be the same as road tax for Range Rover (same carbon emissions as a dog) and would require owners to pass a responsible dog ownership exam, the dogs would need to pass training and a behaviour exam and their DNA would need to be kept on record to identify the owners who leave dog shit all over the pavements, so that they can be jailed.

      Yeah  Ban people, that will solve all the planets environmental issues over night  Leave the dogs as they aren't the problem, its normally bad ownership and management that leads to badly behaved dogs. Spartacus  Ps Cat Rule
