    Morning,

    A friend in work wants to get a docking staton for their daughter and has a max budget of £100. What do you have in stock at the minute ? Do you still have any of the Monitor Audio docks left or are they all gone? Let me know. They can collect in stoe.

    Cheers,

    Damien

    Hi Damien,

    many thanks for the email and spreading the word :D - unfortunately all the Monitor IDecks are long since sold out - we do have the superb S300 Airstream in stock and on display - its £349.95 but we can do a Boardie special at £299.95 - it sounds pretty damn amazing!

    http://www.richersounds.com/product/wireless-docks,-speakers-and-portables/monitor-audio/airstream-s300/moni-audi-s300-blk

    ..However back in the real world of £100 docks, we do have the Philips DS7530 at just £49.95 which is a cracking deal including 30 Pin dock and bluetooth:
    http://www.richersounds.com/product/wireless-docks,-speakers-and-portables/philips/ds7530/phil-ds7530

    We also have the Soundfreq soundplatform again at £49.95 - this sounds great and again includes bluetooth and again has an Apple 30 pin dock ( please note won't accept the iPhone5):
    http://www.richersounds.com/product/wireless-docks,-speakers-and-portables/soundfreaq/sound-platform-sfq-01/soun-sound-platform

    next up would be the Pure Chronos iDock II at £69.95 - more of  a clock radio with a dock than a performance dock - but really popular as it includes a DAB & FM tuner!
    http://www.richersounds.com/product/internet-dab-radio/pure/chronos-idock-series-ii/pure-chro-idock-2-bk



    If you are looking for something that has the Audio quality of the Monitor Audio iDeck, then we have one remaining Arcam Rcube left that we would clear at £129.95 - it was originally £349.95 and is our display unit but is in great condition and its def the deal of the docks!

    If your friend would like to have a demo in-store, just give us a shout and we will get all the bits n bobs together, pop it into the demo room and hopefully they will love it!

    Thanks again and keep us posted if we can assist,

    ATVB,

    Cheers John,

    Forgot to say she has the new Ipod model that it the new Apple pin connector. Can you just use a 30 pin adapter like  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-Pin-iPhone-5-Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter-Dock-Connector-for-iPod-Nano-7th-Gen-/300785519436?pt=UK_MP3_Player_Accessories_Cables_Adapters&hash=item460836cb4c   and plug it into the Phillips dock?

    Thanks

    John / Spinone,

    Go ahead , friend will be going for the Phillips or Pure. Does the Phillips take the new iPod connection or do I need the adapter I linked above?

    Spin,

    the rWand is unfortunately a finished line for us and the rCube is already at a bonkers low price - its in A1 condition with it's original box complete with accessories - so at £129.95 it really is a low low price for one of the best sounding docks around!

    Thanks Spin and keep us posted if we can assist,

    Damien,

    many thanks for the post - none of the docks above have the new lightning connector - (it is actually increasing rare to find actual docks as most products like this now use streaming, either DLNA / Airplay or more and more popular now Bluetooth streaming)

    The adaptor you have linked to looks like it would do the job, but I'd be cautious - 1. because with the latest IOS update, Apple have managed to scuttle lots of non authorised accessories and, 2. because the item description says that it does not support Audio & Video output!

    Apple actually do an authorised adaptor which is actually a great little toy as it also includes a decent digital convertor built in - but it may be a bit over the top for a £50 dock! Really the only reason to need a dock is if you wnat to charge the phone - all the above units ( except the Chronos) will allow you to wirelessly stream via bluetooth which is far handier!

    Thanks again and keep us posted guys,

    ATVB,

    John Mc & Crew

    Hi Spinone :)

    Good news!  Power supply has turned up.  Phew!!  Hidden under the counter the whole time.  

    We'll have that sent out on Monday for delivery on Tuesday.  Apologies about the delay.

    Hope you have a good weekend.

    Hi Guys , the Cube arrived safe and sound and is working a treat ..

    Thanks Again

    John

    Hope you love it. It was a mega deal and a great system for the £'s 

    Not sure if any of the guys mentioned but you can take a 5 year warranty out on it for £12.95 which covers all parts and labour but not accidental damage.

    Drop us a line if you would like the warranty.

    Enjoy !
