As DAP wrote, the RCL should be considered a "loose ranking"

of every component reviewed (BTW, I'm pretty sure I've read at least a couple of JA's measurement sections wherein he wrote that he could NOT recommend the DUT). And, the list does include a "$$$" for components considered to deliver exceptional performance for the price.

""Excellent" should mean the top 10% performers within any particular component/price category"
Meh, most audiophiles are on a budget and will look for the best-sounding product they can afford. The RCL lists the relative (and subjective) rating, regardless of price and gives you the price right after the product name. As I see it, the RCL helps you define your short list of products to audition for yourself. I suspect most readers are plenty smart enough to figure it out for themselves (ie, I think your proposed scheme of ranking within certain price points would be LESS helpful). YMMV.
