Choosing a replacement TV

I had to visit Richer Sounds to choose a replacement TV due to the previous TV I had that had developed a fault that was not repairable. The whole experience I had was fantastic the service was second to none. The staff were very helpful and friendly with product knowledge to match. Why shop anywhere else? Keep up the good work.

Good knowledge and service at Richer Sounds, Southampton

I visited Richer Sounds in Southampton, after learning that they are an outlet for Ortofon - I need a decent magnetic cartridge for my Transcriptors turntable.
I found them knowlegeable and helpful - they provided me with technical information I was unable to find on the Ortofon website.
I bought a mid-range Ortofon moving magnet cartridge. It was not in stock, but was delivered when promised. I have now fitted it, and it works well with my turntable and Quad 33/303 setup.

Helpful, knowledgeable and patient.

Paul was helpful, knowledgeable and soo patient.
I unfortunately visited RS with a few options in mind.
He helped me navigate to a final solution and provided answers to all my many questions a long the journey.
I annoyed him for over an hour, but left very happy and satisfied with my purchases.
His advice was spot on, and confirmed later that day listening to my new purchases.

Outstanding service

Outstanding service. I ordered the wrong amplifier for our business needs. Southampton store was faultless in their help & guidance to find the right product. Web service was fantastic at changing my order over to the correct item. Delivery was exceptionally fast. And an extra Thank You to Tony at Blakes AV & Electronics who fitted the amplifier so successfully.

Placed an order over the phone for an amp, speakers and turntable, Ben was very knowledgeable and advised that the AE100 speakers would sound best with the Denon amp. Order arrived quickly and safely. Sounds absolutely fantastic!

Assistance in the shop was good and informative. The following day I had to phone up because I was getting no sound. I was told what I had done wrong regarding the connection to the amplifier and the problem was then solved. Good service all round.

Great service, great products.

It’s always a pleasure to deal with Richer Sounds, this time I only wanted a small wifi TV for the bedroom and I purchased a Phillips freely 32” it’s brilliant, I had a slight set up problem which Southampton branch soon sorted out over the phone. Thats part of the beauty of Richer, they answer their phone and they know what they are talking about. Thanks Richer
