Please help- Arcam AVR-300 or B&K AVR507
I Have to chime in again. I now have BOTH the AVR507 and the AVR300 in house. I am an unbiased dealer for B&K. I Own a Arcam dv78 player and have the 79 in route-thus I really enjoy the Arcam stuff and found a dealer friend selling his demo av... 
Arcam DV79 and Samsung DLP - your thoughts please
DLP will most likely keep BOTH resolutions going-offering 1080p as a pricier alternative. BTW, what actually is Broadcast in 1080P? NOTHING! NADA! Do we really think all of our local affiliates that were forced to spend millions on the cameras, to... 
Best Speaker to use with Arcam AVR300?
This is one great forum! And just keeps getting better! I really cant help but chime in. To Krellm7: If these forums are full of such ignorance, why do you bother wasting your time reading them? Oh, I guess it is just too humorous for you to stop?... 
Changing receiver from Arcam to?
Also, dont take that wrong, as you can still hook up your computer to system if you want to use it as a "library" with mp3's etc...but I would suggest leaving the high res stuff to the a/v companies as the computer world just has not quite merged ... 
Changing receiver from Arcam to?
I own the b&k 507 and am going to try the arcam 300 in a few days at home. These are the two best non-seperate solutions without ANY doubt. SACD and DVDA deserve a high dollar transport and high quality dacs with good power supplies driving th... 
Component or HDMI for DVD player?
HDMI connections dont offer more resolution. They do allow digital video and audio to travel the same line-all digital audio BUT SACD!(in theory) Some interfaces-depending on the equiptment will only pass the video portion. The real advantage of t... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Just a few comments on various responses here on this most interesting and misunderstood missing link in most peoples audio systems. First I would like to adress a few comments.1. Most hobbyist use too much bass. This hobby also happens to be a ma... 
Arcam AVR-300 vs. B & K AVR 507 vs. Rotel RSX-1067
I , too would like to know who has actually listened to both of these recievers. I own a 507 with an Arcam DVD player and Monitor Audio Speakers. Though my B&K seems in great company and is making great music with its fellow Brits, I have to w... 
Difference between B&K AVR507 and 507 Series 2 ?
Video is the major change-it now does transcoding-or what some manufactures refer to as upconversion-which is misleading. It mearly converts composite and s signals to componetent-for convenience. Its other changes are in the bass managment. It is... 
X-PSU V3 and double X10 V3 tube output buffer
NO one can hear less that 2% distortion differances anyway, and most speakers have anywhere from 15%(Great Speakers) to 40%(Avg speakers) distortion figures anyway. So adding a % or 2 or .005 or whatever is NOT what you are hearing-whether you lik... 
Please help- Arcam AVR-300 or B&K AVR507
This is way late but maybe useful to those now looking. I have seen oscilliscope readings of the Denon as well as other Japanese made recievers running with ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN at .07% distortion and the power output was 30 sum watts across all ch... 
Problem with bass managment with many universals-
Good advise so far, I have not thought of using the main outs. Maybe this will help if I explain issue more. I have a B&K AVR507 Reciever that has STELLAR bass managment via the analogue or digital inputs that enables me to change the crossove...

Denon 3803 No Detachable Power Cord Why?
All circa 02-03 Japanese gear had fixed pc's in the "mid fi" price ranges. Really, the only reason they went to detachables is because most of there "custom" dealers needed that option to make it easy to reset the processor in the event that it go... 
Denon 2910 vs Music Hall MMFCD25vs Rega Planet
The Planet smokes the 2900 and dv47ai for 44.1 redbook playback in a high res system. Had all 3 players on high res system consisting of cj prem17 pre/prem 350 amp/ monitor audio gr60's/monster7000/avs2000 system in retail store that I used to wor...
