Why does the ARCAM avr300 sound so good?
He specifically is over the moon about it’s sound quality with music and it’s ability to play CD’s and hi rez cleanly and accurately. The receiver has a new technology Arcam calls “Mask of Silence” which damps, filters, and shields digital noise which is one of the reasons it sounds so good.
When was the ARCAM avr250-350 receiver made?
I have to agree with Akg ca: we cannot lump ARCAM into unreliable status over a series of receivers. The AVR250-350 units were built immediately after the EU enacted RoHS standards in 2006. eliminating lead from solder, from which a great many products were built horribly.
Is the ARCAM avr300 a deono 3805 or 2500?
The 300 has very similar connections, power, bells, whistles, etc. as a Deono 3805 (which I own) or the Yamaha 2500. It is also designed to bi-amp the front speakers in a 5.1 setup and is discussed in detail in the manual.
When did ARCAM stop using leaded solder in AV receivers?
The AVR250-350 units were built immediately after the EU enacted RoHS standards in 2006. eliminating lead from solder, from which a great many products were built horribly. ARCAM’s previous AV receivers; the AVR100 and AVR200 were built with leaded solder and are still regarded as reliable tanks all these years later.

Where do I find the audio troubleshooter in Windows 10?
In the search box on the taskbar, type audio troubleshooter, select Fix and find problems with playing sound from the results, then select Next. Select the device you want to troubleshoot and then continue through the troubleshooter. You can also launch the troubleshooter from audio Settings.
