    Arcam AVR400 to AVR390

    Hi all My AVR400 has given 13 years of stellar service but unfortunately the HDMI board has recently failed. I’ve hobbled along using a spdif cable from the TV back to the amp and bypassing the HDMI but it’s probably time for a change. There is an AVR390 for sale locally for a decent price...

    Help! I get sound only when PJ is on. Arcam AVR390 to Epson EH-TW9400 with Panasonic DP-UB 820

    Hi, I thought I was fairly well versed in setting up equipment to work but obviously not! I upgraded last week from my Arcam AVR400 to the AVR390. If I can get the above to work properly, then I will proceed with Dirac. I haven't as yet checked for firmware updates. I have used the test...

    2 Subwoofers and Arcam avr20 setup

    So I'm waiting to receive the Arcam avr20, I have read that the Arcam sets up the subs as a pair or mono pair, or they can be setup separately on channels 13-16. Are there owners that have tried both and have an opinion on which is better?

    Question Arcam setup….

    Anyone using a Arcam AV41 & PA720? Thoughts please. Plus is it worth it paying the extra, or just go for a AVR31 instead? Hopefully at some point I’ll be going for a demo as well.

    Question Connecting Arcam amp to Onkyo AVR.

    I pulled an Arcam Alpha one amplifier out of a crate in the recycling centre yesterday, it powers up ok but I don't know if it works because I haven't a clue how to connect it to my Onkyo reciever. Should I use RCA cables and to which ports would I connect them?

    Alpha IQ

    I have just bought the ALPHA IQ active speakers, replacing loads of Arcam stuff and large Mission floorstanders, with Sonos doing the TV, due to a rethink of our TV & Music set up. Very pleased on the whole. Not as big a sound but very much a simpler system that delivers very good music...

    Arcam A5 - B&W CM1 - good match?

    Hi - I recently got a good deal on an Arcam A5, and I'm very keen to like it! However, I'm having problems warming to the sound.

    What's an Upgrade from Arcam SA30?

    Toying with the idea of changing my Arcam SA30 .... I think part of this is just an itch so don't know how serious I actually am, think it would depend wholly on whether I thought something would be a significant upgrade or not and balancing that vs the cost to do so. If I say what I'd like to...

    Question Arcam AVR30 Dynaudio Speaker Matching

    With my Arcam AVR30 I have Dynaudio Contour S1.4’s as the fronts and Dynaudio Audience 52SE’s as the rears. Would Dynaudio Contour 20i’s be a worthwhile upgrade for the fronts? The S1.4’s would then be used as rears so hopefully would be a good upgrade to the existing g 52SE’s.
