Yes Aaron he rates it A+. But it seems to be pretty standard now that comparisons are avoided. It happens in the UK with HiFi News and with HiFi+. I guess issues over advertising revenues have become a major focus.
Which is why I was surprised to see a "how it compares" boxout in a recent review of the Hegel 360 in Hi-fi Choice! Not to mention a more sensible scoring system.
