Do RicherSound.ie ship to UK? They've got prices in euro and sterling, and on their register page its got a drop down box for country with UK or Ireland, but in their T&C it states:

"We regret that we cannot accept orders for and make deliveries to addresses outside of Ireland."

Anyone bought this in the uk?

[GrannySmith]

Well I ordered one a fortnight ago, turned up six days later with no probs either

GrannySnith - what are your opinions on the player in the flesh? I am considering replacing my XBOX 360 with it and wondering if I would see a significant improvement.

Thanks

[GrannySmith]

Never seen an XBox 360 spin dvd's, but it's hard to see how it could possibly match up to the Marantz - viewing via HDMI, it's a class act!

Just set up an account with them, seems odd that they accept UK addresses for registration if they dont deliver outside Ireland??
I really want to order this player though, at £140 inc delivery its more than a bargain!, im gonna try ordering and see what they say, cant miss out on this deal!

[cedge]

Done it too,

Thx mate (can't press "thx" button here for some reason)!
Great find - ordered to replace six year old Pio DV505 (in bedroom ) who's just started to make some funny noises ...

Richersounds Ireland are based in Belfast, and are technically not allowed to post items to mainland UK, only northern Ireland and the republic of Ireland as the rest of richersounds.co.uk covers mainland UK only. They are a great shop, really friendly. Best bet is to give them a ring, i'm pretty sure they will not turn down a sale

[cedge]

Arent they in the EU though, free trade to other countries etc etc?

[pavr27]

Worked for me too...they do seem to be willing to ship to the UK

I bought 2!

[cedge]

They've shipped mine

Bit worried though that it may get hit by customs, is it a possibility?

[mwallan]

you dont get customs for goods in EU as you pay local tax, so the price you pay is the price you pay !!!

Thanks for the reassurance, really looking forward to hooking this up to my 1366 x 768 LCD to give me the ultimate picture performance (within my budget). Just need to update my AMP to provide me with the best sound (again within my limited budget) in the next couple of months. I will be currently doing the Marantz no justice to either letting the TV output the sound or by connecting the phono outputs to my ageing all in one hi-fi system.

In the Marantz manual it says that these leads will provide a stereo output however it will be plugged into my Hi-fi which can output in DD therefore will the sound be converted as such to my 5 speakers?

[mwallan]

mine was sent today cant wait !!!!
