I would assume that the component functions with an 8/10 rating. I find people continually misuse the grading scale here on Audiogon. I find it upsetting because we are a small community and need to be far with eachother.
I, too, would have assumed so, up until maybe a year ago or so. There seems to have been something of a "gold-rush" lately, expanding the "small community" and consisting of sellers out to make themselves some dough by hook or crook, and making themselves hard to distinguish from the honest and caring individuals from whom I could pretty much always count on dealing with in the previous past.
