Noob question - Stereophile "Class" rating

Kinda like the Academy Awards; who cares?

I have never regretted a purchase I have made based on Stereophile ratings. The problem, however, (one problem) with them, is that there are too many items listed in each category. But at the low end of the price scale (where I am) finding suitable products has been successful.

Do they ever say anything pretty much sucks?

It is funny the dealers always tell you that the ratings are meaningless unless they sell the product then you get the "Also this unit was highly recommended in Stereophile"

Is the info available online? (I can't find it)
