Online shops & Price Comparison site recomendations

Can anyone recommend price comparison site specifically for hifi stuff and some reputable online shop which sell almost all the brands, I sometime find difficult to find a shop which sells Rega or Arcam. Thanks.

A lot of brands will not sell their gear online and only through dealers.

I have never really found a decent site for price comparison and most sites price quite similarly. Although I find Superfi and Hifix to be good sites.

Better to find a decent dealer.

it always pays to google the product in question, as there are some deals that get thrown up.  Also, call a few shops and ask for their best price - taking the time to make a small effort pays large dividends!

Pricerunner is about the best one, but its still not brilliant for hi-fi/home cinema stuff.

Richer sounds are great for the lower end of the market.  Superfi are a good on-line outlet.  The more specialist higher end stuff tends to be only available at specialist hi-fi / home cinema dealers and isnt generally advertised. 

Google is as good as anything.

As Big A says calling shops takes time but can reap dividends.

Yup, Google - for general items - "hifi special offers" (or the like) and a lot of independent dealers crop up as well.
