where hi-fi? (1 Viewer)

[cookiemonster]

since Richer Sounds closed down, where's a good place in dublin or on the web to buy a hi-fi?

i went up there with a friend to buy cd players and the guy in the shop was a cunt.

he wouldn't let us listen to the cd player we were BOTH interested in even though he already had a system set up. i.e. all he would have to do was plug the audio cable into this cd player instead of the one it was already in. I mean, considering I was gona buy a cd player and my friend was gonna get speakers+amp+cd,about a grands worth in total, i thought he shold have bothered his ass.

also he spent the whole time givin out to us about the smoking ban sayin him and his wife had cancelled their trip to dublin because of it and they would never have that in the north because it was a stupid idea.
then he started giving out to us for spending so much money on hi-fi(???!) saying people from the south had too much money.

pain in the ass.

cd player was a bit ropey aswell. lo quality.Thats what I get for buying without trying.
cunt.

the hi-fi shop on the southside by the ha'penny bridge is good

they've never sold me anything I didn't need

and I've gone in saying "I need this thing to hook another thing up to a yoke"

also one day one of the dudes went ranting about who listen for the hiss instead of the music... which was cool

THere's a deadly place out in Blackrock but its total high-end stuff. Worth a visit just see how its possible to spend 50 grand on a stereo. They had weird things with tubes and stuff that I had never even seen before ...

Sorry ... this information is totally useless I suppose. Peats seems to be okay for CD players and amps and so on.

[krystal]

you shouldn;t have shown me that.

New Hi-Fi stuff is on my List Of Things To Get

after new wardrobes. Sigh.

 

[Anthony]

after you get wardrobes I doubt you'll have anything left.

 

[krystal]

Oh jesus, I know....

I don't understand why "cupboards" are so expensive. See: Kitchens!

 

[krystal]

we had to pay €240 for ONE extra cupboard in our kitchen. This didn't involve fitting. This involved my dad having to go to Greenhills industrial estate and bring it our flat in his car. Great! Then I went to IKEA (ha!) and bought 2 glass and alumninum fronted wall cupboards for £28 each, complete will glass shelves and fancy ways.

 

[Anthony]

That's another thing! When you get kitchen units with glass in them..... you don't GET the glass! You have to go to a different shop and give then the sizes ad have it made up!!!! I couldn't fucking believe it.

 

[krystal]

Do you not?? I dunno, we have a 'shaker' (about as far removed from proper Shaker style is possible - I forsee a Shaker Kitchen Event Horizon fairly soon....) style kitchen which i would never have picked in one BILLION years, and it's just flat fronted 'beech' cupbpoards. We added some long frosted glass fronted ones, but everything came with them.
