Sorry if I seem dim - but is this not isolated cases?
I sincerely hope so, for Arcam's sake.
The AVR-600 wasn't an isolated case though with many even on this forum suffering with various issues, and till this day, those issues still exist.
I've personally not seen any reliability problems on this forum. It's a little hard to believe, if they source the components from the same companies, that one of the most reliable brands has turned bad.
