Hello people,
I popped into my local Richer Sounds today, and here's what I found out:
1: The 79 pence Hi-Space discs DO NOT EXIST. The cheapest you can buy a
Hi-Space for is 99pence, as this is just above cost. The voucher printed in
What Hifi this month is, IMO, not worth the paper it is written on, as
although it shows a Hi-Space disc, the description says ' Blank MD - Picture
approximate'
The 79pence discs are in fact Samsungs, but these will not be in stock until
the voucher is out of date.......GRRRRRRR...
( 20 pence a disc makes a difference when buying 100, and I even rang head
office to complain. They stick by their 'Picture approximate' get-out
clause.....)
2: Richer Sounds WILL continue to stock MD portables, but will have a
reduced range and *will not* carry any Sharp portable recorder due to the
large amount of problems with the 701/702 series - being parallel imports
into the UK the do not have a manufacturers warrenty and so R.S's only MD
trained service technician ( Leroy at the Stockport branch where I used to
work ) is overworked.......
( I've asked for some ballpark figures as to sales:returns - if I get them
I'll let you know )
So lookout for ridiculus prices on anything other than Sony portable MD's
very soon......
The range of decks available is unaffected.
Richard
