>Now lets discuss how the V90-DAC winds up with a bogus A+ rating in your
>Recommended Components feature when Sam gives it an A rating in his
>column and no other reviewers have even heard it.Nothing bogus about it. The A+ was Sam's recommendation in the email he
wrote in response to my request for input on ratings when I compiled the
listing. Although my eyebrows were understandably raised, I had not yet
auditioned or measured the product so I paid his judgement the respect it
deserved. The definitive rating will be decided upon in the October issue.
And as might perhaps seem obvious, as you haven't heard this product, your
opinion on its sound quality is worthless.>What's with this "provisional" A+ rating? This component should have
>received a K rating.No, because it _had_ been reviewed. Stereophile has always included in the
listing products that are reviewed in the same issue as "Recommended
Components" with a "See Joe Blow's review in this issue" note.>is this some kind of payoff to Antony Michaelson for keeping an
>unrequested reserve stash of components at your beck and call?Forgive me for taking your questions seriously.
