Arcam Diva AVR350 - where are reviews?

This is the first published USA review I know of on the 350 - I wish that they compared it to a similar- rather than lower-priced product. Please post other published reviews.

Good review (however small review) in What HIFI sound and vision mag.
Gets full 5 stars and wins 'best for music' catagory.

Re: Arcam Diva AVR350 - where are reviews?

I would have thought the buckets of praise it gets from retailers, installers and owners alike on this and every other AV forum would be pretty convincing enough LOL!!!!

My personal opinion is that it sounds better than the likes of the Yamaha Z9 let alone similar priced products

Re: Arcam Diva AVR350 - where are reviews?

I decided to purchase the AVR350 over the Pioneer VSA AX10ai-s after back to back home demo's. Both are fantastic amps however the Arcam won it for me with its minimalist approach (focussing on audio quality over a plethora of video connections) and versatile sound.

As it's settled into my system, the performance has taken on a new (and better) lease of life....highly recommended.

Is there perhaps a web version of this review? Scanned perhaps?

Absolutely, but it always fun to read a good review.

Here's a link to the forthcoming Peter Moncrieff print review on the 350, great explanation of what Stealth Mat and other technologies actually do - http://www.iar-80.com/page139.html

If I'm remembering PM's review of the 300, he dubbed it "The Answer" for everything.

His moniker for the new 350 -- "Holy guacamole."

Seems to me that guacamole is a step backwards
