I have been following along on this thread since just about the beginning, and have been in this hobby for about 50 years now.
In the early days after just purchasing my audiophile membership I would save and spend every penny on the dream. Soon into my addiction the pinnacle of spending for me were a pair of Levinson ML-2's, ML-3, LNC-2 crossover, Magneplanar T-1D's, and soon after Tympani 4's all new except for the LNC-2.
When my career kind of got in the way along with it came a change in philosophy of my pursuit of audio bliss. I would attempt to acquire a system with 90%, or hopefully even a higher percentage of SOTA for 5% of the cash outlay. At least that was the goal.
Fast forwarding to this point I have not heard TC in my system or any where. My opinion is that it would be at the minimum a good addition to almost any music system, as well as other applications. I would like to buy some.
The OP in a recent post commented that TC is very inexpensive. That would seem to me to be from the viewpoint exclusively of perceived performance vs dollars spent.
In evaluating this product from my viewpoint I see a marketing approach with nearly zero cost outlay, and raw materials near an absolute minimum. $299 for this package falls sadly into the all too familiar category of far overpriced audio product.
In my one previous post on this thread I suggested a smaller quantity at a more affordable price, as a possible simple solution to reboot the marketing approach. Of course bringing the TC to the end consumer cost would be close to the exact same amount, but then in my mind all would be well.
There is a company that specializes in isolation accessories that I've purchased from I believe 12 times now. Products work as advertised and at prices that fit into my 90%-5% mindset. Maybe they're working with graphene right about now.
