RE: who to buy from? - Richer Sounds of course

If you`re buying a player, not just a mod, Richer Sounds are a great company to buy from. See my post from a week or so ago. You can order online from them, or from any of their shops (yes, those things, except their staff actually have a clue). Their website has the Aiwa 370 multi region in stock @ £199. Also they will price beat any genuine price in the UK, and their 5 year warranty for £30 takes some beating.

Just my 2p worth

RE: Recomendations for a cheap multiregion dvd player with RCE playback?

Richer Sounds website http://www.richersounds.com/ has the Pioneer V535 for £177.95 (plus delivery of £8.50). I got one last week - it is RCE capable - it has auto or manual region switching. Very very nice player indeed. Be aware it doesn`t come with much in the way of cables - no optical cable in the box, but there is a composite video cable and a regular audio cable. They also do 3 years warranty for £20 or 5 years for £30. If you buy it from on eof their shops, it is £199.

Richer Sounds Rule!

Sorry for the somewhat over-enthusiastic heading, but in the light of all the anti-Techtronics postings, I`d just like to post something that praises a retailer for once - and one that is so different from Techtronics it`s like they`re on another planet.

I just picked up my Pioneer DV535 today - multi-region, RCE aware, for £199 from Richer Sounds in Guildford. They`ve been out of stock for a month or so, but when I called to check earlier this week they said they should have them in by today, and they already had a note of my phone number. The moment the kit came in they phoned me. Plus I got their excellent Supercare warranty - just £30 for 5 years. Something I notice Techtronics don`t offer.

In short, my question is `Why do people even bother with Techtronics when such excellent retailers as Richer Sounds exist?`

BTW if you haven`t read it yet, I recommend Julian Richer`s book, The Richer Way - if you have anything to do with running a company it will change your life. (notice how Asda refer to staff as `colleagues`, and their service got a whole lot better a couple of years ago? They had JR as a consultant)

In fairness I`d like to hear if anyone`s had a bad experience with them, but if you`re looking for somewhere to buy a MR DVD player at a great price, I don`t hesitate to recommend them - I`ve been buying stuff from them for years - and their 14 day `no hassle exchange it if it doesn`t sound right` policy rocks! p.s. they`ve got an ex-dem Philips 710 for £99 in the Guildford branch if anyone`s after something very cheap.

RE: DVD`s for £5

The other film was Strong Language - a brit flick from the last couple of years, the reveiws on IMDB sounded interesting, and hey, for a fiver, who`s complaining? Though I agree with the point about dvdgraveyard, there really was some serious straight to the bargain basement video stuff there - in fact I`m amazed they were even transferred to DVD!

RE: DVD`s for £5

Just bought L.A. Takedown (the original version of Heat) and another film for £10 (you have to buy 2 to get them for a fiver each). They use Worldpay for payment processing so they seem pretty kosher too.
