Grades Explanations:
- A+ = "must have" title with exemplary content and disc engineering. To earn an A+, the title must have broad appeal. And it must be something you can enjoy (or use as a teacher) over and over.
- A = excellent content and satisfactory disc engineering.
- A- = exemplary or excellent content with some reservation.
- B = a fine title you will probably like a lot if the subject interests you.
- C = damnation of faint praise. But will no doubt have appeal to some folks.
- D = don't bother to buy it unless you have a real good reason.
- F = fire somebody for signing off to publish this.
- X = title that doesn't easily fit the rubric given for the rest of the site. Some of these discs are of undeniable quality, but they may be too obscure or too specific to appeal to the majority of HDVD connoisseurs. See the mini-review for the title for more information.
- X-APH=Audiophile recording, often too expensive to recommend to typical fine-arts fan. See the mini-review for the title for more information.
- Help! = This title has not been graded yet because we haven't had time to adequately review it. If you are able give us a grade, with reasons, this will help us assign a grade to the title.
