Great amp and speakers

My 11 year old amp was getting a bit rusty so it was time for an upgrade. Setting up a demo with TJ at the Cambridge branch was a breeze. It was a shootout between this, an Arcam a15+ and the Marantz model 30. While the Marantz and the Arcam were good, there was no doubt which was the clear winner!
However when i got it home it didn’t pair that well with my old Wharfedale diamond bookshleves, so it was back to the store to try out some speakers….no problem at all, TJ set up a demo the very next day! I eventually settled for the Dali Opticon 6 mk2 with which the EXA100 paired really well! A shout out to TJ for being patient throughout the process, he took the time to understand all my requirements and made sure i was fully satisfied before making my purchase. I would heartily recommend Richer Sounds to anyone and would definitely return for my future hifi needs!

Onkyo C30 - prompt delivery & very pleased with sound. A big improvement on my old (very old) CD player.

Third time lucky thanks to Richer Sounds...

Had to send two Lenco turntables back to Amazon due to wow/flutter. The advice from Richer Sounds really helped make the right decision and I knew I had support if needed.

Great picture quality, baffling OS.

The sales person (Tom?) did an excellent job, and the purchase experience was first class.

An area I feel Richer Sounds could improve is explaining how to use the product. Modern TV’s are now so complex that a series of evening classes would be needed to understand it.

I simply cannot work out how to create a favourite channels list, and I regards myself as pretty well up on this sort of thing.

The operating system on this TV is baffling in the extreme. I have downloaded the so called instruction manual from the manufacturer, and that is no help at all.

The picture quality is excellent, I just need to work out how to set it up.

Thank you for your feedback although I was really sorry to read you have had problems setting up your new TV. I will of course pass this on to the store team so in future they can be really clear about where customers can go should they need help in this type of instance, and in the meantime if you do still require assistance please get in touch with our customer service team on 03339000094 option 6..

Day saved.

Unhappy experience with two non-performing systems (same equipment!) but speedy change of manufacturer and rapid delivery saved the day. Excellent recovery and service.

Friendly and knowledgeable.

Richer Sounds Cambridge is a very friendly and knowledgeable branch. I have been messaging them for the past year tailoring a suitable audio system for my budget. Even though I significantly went over my budget they were not pushy about this. Tom was very helpful throughout the purchase. The reason it is a 4 star rating rather 5 was largely due the not so great post-sale experience where I had to contact them a couple of times to check the system had arrived and ready for collection. Otherwise can't fault them. Purchased a CXC-CXA81 and Dali Oberon3 setup. Sounds great!

Dear Mr Patel,

Thanks for the feedback, it was great to read your comments about Tom but disappointing that after such as positive start there were some problems. I will of course raise this with the branch team to impress upon them the importance of great aftersales

It's good to hear that the system is performing as you expected, do get in touch if we can be of any more help of course..

Great Customer Service

Went to discuss our need to replace our kitchen stereo and record turntable.
Olivia dealt with us and gave us a number of options. There was no hard sell but very informative advice and help. Following our conversation we did spend more than intended but came away knowing we had made the right decisions. Excellent service.

Unfortunately my Marantz Cinema 30 was broken when I've received it. It was supposedly after servicing anyway? Big dissapointment. Refund was pretty quick and manager Paul was very helpfull.

Thank you for your review, I was of course very sorry that the clearance item you purchased was faulty when you received it. We will of course investigate the history of the item with the store, and find out why the repair previously carried out was unsuccessful.

I understand that unfortunately following your refund you have since purchased another unit elsewhere, but am happy to say that our customer service team confirmed they did turn things round during their call to you. Should you require any further help from me do get in touch via..

Thank you for your feedback although I was of course disappointed to read your feedback. Having spoken to the store they completely held their hands up to physically requesting your special order from the supplier several days after it was agreed between you. Fortunately this didn't affect lead times, but they need a better system for following these things up which I will help implement.

In the meantime I'm pleased to say that Paddy Hall from our customer service team has since been in touch with you to resolve things and that you confirmed to him you were now completely satisfied.

Of course if I can be of any more help to you do let me know, hopefully if you use us again you will be one of the 98% of customers who review us positively on Trustpilot..

Unhurried audition of the equipment

I was given plenty of time to listen to amplifier so I could make a decision. It wasn't an expensive amp I couldn't have complained if the session was half as long.
But try to solve the static problem! I was getting enormous sparks, some sort of earthing must be possible

Great advice

Great advice. Wanted a good sound quality home theatre system to go with Yamaha rear speakers we already have.
Paul recommended Marantz cinema 50 and after a demo we chose oberon 5's and centre speaker to match. All work well together and sound is excellent with clear vocals and deep bass.
Considering adding a sub in the near future and Paul recommended the Rel T5x to match the oberons.
