As usual great advice from the Guys in Reading shop. Popped into to buy some speaker cable and to get an old Arcam amp checked out. Been a customer for years and will continue to be so👍

Helpful, expert advice from James @ Reading 'Richer Sounds'

We came in to purchase a new Cambridge audio streamer for our daughter. We had an idea of what we'd like to listen to & James helped usnthroughbthe selection process, explaining the options clearly & simply. We had a chance to listen to the device in their soundproofed studio & enjoyed the whole experience.

Excellent, service, easy to deal with

Contacted them by phone on a Saturday and spoke to Ian. Explained I had a hearing impairment. He was so helpful with every aspect of the transaction carefully explained the process to me. It was a Saturday and their finance dept were not available however he checked my screenshot of the BACS transfer and promised official receipt after the bank holiday. Kept in touch all the way through up until the efficient delivery. I really cannot fault them and would highly recommend. The price was also attractive as the box had been opened but item not used.

Great advice, testing and price

Recommendations from the team in the Reading store plus the opportunity to audition several set-ups in their listening room convinced me to make the purchase of a new streamer, amp and speakers. To top it all they provided an attractive price and next day delivery.
A minor mixup about an interconnecting cable was quickly resolved.

Excess emails

I ordered my device online for collection at your store, the only emails that I was expecting were from your store telling me that the item was ready for collection, not confusing emails from DPD. Your staff when collecting device were very helpful.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to leave us a review, although we were sorry to read that the delivery emails caused some confusion.

Our delivery partners send out dispatch emails to keep customers abreast of their delivery status, but their system simply recognises that an item is being shipped, and not whether it is being shipped to a collection point or directly to a customer.

Our apologies that this caused some confusion, and we will of course take your feedback onboard moving forwards.

Many thanks,

The Customer Experience team

TV & speed of delivery was good

TV & speed of delivery was good, staff very friendly.
When I rang DG to register the 6 year warranty, I was told it was just a year. I tried to call Richer Sounds. Nobody answered and I was informed by the system I would be called back. It’s been 4 days now so I assume I need to call again.
Update 02/09/26
Richer Sounds Customer service (Mike) called today and my concerns have been addressed completely satisfactorily.
Many thanks for getting back to me.

Thank you for your review, although I was sorry to read at the time of writing you have not received a call back. This should have happened within 24 hours at the most, so there has clearly been a problem somewhere which we will investigate.

I can confirm that the 6 year guarantee on your product specifically does not require registration, so is in place, however I will ensure our customer service team call you to assuage any concerns you may still have..
