If a new product comes along that is so superior to all others regardless of price why does Stereophile feel the need to create a A+ category? Why not put it in A and put the lesser components in B? This rating system has become an absolute joke IMO. Next they'll have a curve scale of price/performance value and who knows what the future holds, maybe A-; B+,B-, come on give me a break. It holds little value to me. I find there is better information provided on this forum. At least more honest and less politically/advertising motivated. Tubeguy right on!! Stereophile has become the Stereo Review of high end, Listener is an entertaining read if little else and The Absolute Sound is where the beef's at and Clara Peller's soul resides.
