Kal, Sorry to nitpick but we are not discussing your review, which is a very positive one to say the least, but rather why, in the face of such a positive review, the Touch ended up in Class D. Sure someone reading the review might realize that this little $300 device is capable of some great things but someone scanning the Oct. 2010 and future Recommended Components listings might not think to research the Touch any further due to its Class D rating. My suggestion of a dual Class A/D listing would seem to be a fair way to treat this product. Of course the cynic in me wants to believe, as others here have stated, that Stereophile dares not bite the hand that feeds them by placing a mere $300 item with items whose prices range from $900 (Oppo BDP-83SE) to $28,600 (Niam CD555) so please, say it isn't so. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81346 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
