What is probably most off-putting is the level ratings itself. A lot of audiophiles are not happy buying something that the manufacturer has rated inferior in their line. It is just human nature and people look at the ratings like:
Level 0 - poor beginner
Level 1 - Tosser
Level 3 - Can't afford our real products
Level 5 - Audiophile
I am not saying any of this is rational, but high end audio is not a rational sport. I know it is no different than what Stereophile does, but at least that rating is external from a user perspective and there is the odd chance that the rating is not completely price based.
