Great experience

I had an absolutely outstanding experience at Richer Sounds in Chester. From the moment I walked through the door, the service was nothing short of impeccable. The team clearly knows their stuff — every question I had was answered with confidence, clarity, and genuine enthusiasm. It’s rare to find a place where the staff combine deep technical knowledge with such an easygoing, friendly approach.

The atmosphere was brilliant too. Plenty of good banter, no pressure, and a real sense that they genuinely care about getting you the right setup rather than just making a sale. It made the whole visit feel relaxed, enjoyable, and surprisingly fun. Came away with 2 Denon speakers that suit my requirements perfectly.

A special shout‑out to Ewan who was absolutely superb throughout. His knowledge, patience, and ability to explain things in a way that actually makes sense were top‑tier. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and personality, and he made the whole experience feel effortless. Honestly, he was brilliant (give the man a pay rise or at least a gold star 😝).

Overall, the entire visit was second to none — one of the best retail experiences I’ve had in years and well worth the trip from West Wales. I can’t recommend Richer Sounds Chester highly enough.

Member receives promotional email from richer sounds

I received an email from richer sounds, being a member, informing me of a twenty percent discount on discounted goods. I had been looking for a new turntable and after a web search found a suitable one, but i did not act. When the email arrived i returned to the same web search and it was still for sale. i rang the chester store and spoke to a most friendly and helpful man. Who, after a stock search processed my sale via an email notification. It was fantastically smooth the TT arrived the next day. Really “brilliant”.

Superb service as usual

As usual, superb service from Ewan and all those with whom I came into contact at Richer Sounds - much better than having a box chucked at you as one does in one of the other well-known out-of-town shopping area stores. Really good advice and very prompt and timely delivery.

Adam at the Chester store is a Star!!!

We visited the Chester store. We had dug all our vinyl out and wanted a system to enjoy it all again. We wanted a system to cover two rooms, a turntable, CD and airplay music. Adam looked after us. His advice was superb. He guided us through what we needed and was conscious of price for us. He put together a recommendation which has proven to be spot on. We are enjoying all our old LPs, singles and CDs. It's bringing back so many happy memories. We had forgotten what we had in our collection. Adam was charming from the moment we walked in the door. It was a joy to meet him. He listened to what we wanted to achieve and came up with great advice. What can I say, nail absolutely hit on the head. Thank you Adam. You have helped us rediscover our past and our music souls. Absolute star. Thanks you, Jackie and Neil.

Great product from a great shop!

Having done some research, I decided on a Denon DCD-900NE CD player, and went to my local Richer Sounds branch. It was the Sunday before May Day Bank Holiday Monday, and they didn't have one in stock, so set about ordering one in for the following Wednesday. All done quickly and efficiently, in a friendly manner, and I left. Tuesday morning, I was notified it had arrived, and sure enough, by midday I had it! didn't get the names of the 2 people I dealt with, but it couldn't have gone better. And nice to actually walk into a shop and buy it, knowing you're supporting a local shop, rather than mail ordering it from a multi-national conglomerate. I've used them before, and I'll use them again.
