Far too dear! Shop about first! Unless you have money to burn. Installs ok but could be neater

What can I say about Robert Ritchie Hi Fi? It's a great place to shop. The staff are very friendly and helpful, plus there's always the offer of a coffee or tea if you want one. I note one person who left a review says it's an expensive place to shop! I've always found that at the end of the day, wither expensive or not, you always end up with quality items that are fit for purpose, seem to last forever and require little or no repair what so ever, meaning at the end of the day there excellent value. If you want to take the chance and shop on line, by all means do so but it's doubtful you'll get the quality, service and aftercare Robert Ritchie can provided and having been a long standing customer I can highly recommend them. A day trip to Montrose to purchase an A+R Cambridge Cartridge, (around 30yrs ago) now has me happily living with A Linn/Naim system I thought I'd never own. True, it was expensive but happily built to last, plus upgradable and has needed no repairs, (another plus) only upgrades as and when required though only if you want, or require them. My advise to anyone reading this is simply to go and see them, enjoy all the options they have to offer as there's something for everyone at many different price points to suit all pockets, from a simple cartridge to mind blowing hi fi systems that take your breath away and lots more in between. Value for money, I'd say yes. read more

I had excellent service from Robert Ritchie when I bought my turntable arm and cartridge . Had a good long relaxed demonstration of a couple of turntables which suited my needs and my budget. I didn't feel rushed into making a decision and he took the time to try different cartridges in the demo too. They offered to install the turntable in my home, though I declined because I went past RR for the demo on my way from Ipswich to Aberdeen and I still had my equipment and racks down south. Was shown the ins and outs of setting up the turntable and arm though. Robert Ritchie weren't too expensive. I paid pretty much the same price for the equipment as I would have at any other dealer. The value is in the the excellent demonstration and getting hi-fi which suits my needs and ear for a long tme and the option of having it installed. 11 years later I am still getting many hours daily enjoyable engaging listening out the turntable and S/H arm I bought, The sound qulaity of the turntable in my system is fantastic and it has introduced me to many stylres of music I was unfamiliar with just to hear what they sounded like on my turntable. So many records at bargain prices, even a shop clearout. I'm not wealthy by a long shot, so I hate buying things only to have to put them to landfill /WEEE waste when I replace them a couple of years after. I feel with the turntable/arm purchase I have got a hi-fi for life. The only drawback with RR is that they are quite difficult for me to get to as I don't drive, but if I get a lift parkling is nearby. I returned to Robert Ritchie a couple of months ago to collect a digital stream player. CDs weren't working for me, not enough room for them all and the clutter and parties took it's toll on many of my CDS, scratched, damaged artwork, a few early release ones CDrotted ..I came away with a fantastic Naim uniqute digital stream player, that after ripping my CDS has opened up my digital collection again without fear of trashing discs, high res downloads, 18,000 or so internet radio staions and I don't have to be stuck at ir within earshot of my PC. Fantastic little box of magic. I'll certainly go back to Robert Ritchie again. read more
