I made an online purchase

I made an online purchase, a OLED TV, collection etc was handled perfectly. If I have any concerns, its relating to the picture quality.... I am not sure, I am receiving the best quality picture, the ones in the shop. look better than the one I am getting, so a quick call from one of your experts to passify me would be great.

I bought a 75 inch tv 18 months ago

I bought a 75 inch tv 18 months ago. The screen has gone so Richer Sounds advised me to deal with the producers directly. They took several days to come and collect it and tell me it will take 2 weeks to repair ? So no World Cup in 75 inch tv for me. No involvement from richer sounds at all !!

Reply from Richer Sounds - Southampton

I was really sorry to read your TV has developed a fault. We do often allow the manufacturers to repair products on our behalf, generally this is of a benefit to customers as they can service their own products quickly and of course as the retailer we still take full responsibility and ownership. I appreciate your frustration however, especially as the World Cup is in full swing.

We will contact you directly to discuss getting a loan unit arranged for you ensuring all is resolved to your satisfaction..

I have been purchasing my audio equipment from Richer Sounds for some years now and quite honestly I don't feel the need to go anywhere else. The combination of informative web site,stores with knowledgeable staff and keen pricing is exactly what I require.

Outstanding service from Richer Sounds Southampton

I am not really one for leaving reviews. However, I have recently made a purchase from Richer Sounds in Southampton.
The items I purchased I was very unsure about. I mean it's all new technology to me.
However the purson I spoke to (Marc) was absolutely outstanding in every way.
Explained everything to me in a way I could understand. He was nothing short brilliant.

I live on the isle of Wight, we do not a dedicated Hi-Fi store here, so Richer Sounds in Southampton was my store.

Anyone thinking of upgrading or just buying a new piece of kit you must go to Richer Sounds in Southampton. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you again Marc.

poor sound from pickup cartridge.

The pickup cartridge produced a distorted sound and I replaced it with another I already had which improved the sound. This was not easy as the head is not removable.

Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry of course that you experienced issues with the cartridge from your new purchase. Whilst I appreciate you have resolved the issue yourself, should you wish to discuss this further please do get in touch..

Great service from Southampton

Great service from Southampton. I walked in thinking of buying one amp and walk out with another the Taga Harmony. Really appreciated the advice and service from Marc and it's a great piece of kit. I might have to look at speakers next...
