I agree, the price is high, hence Rick dropped the price to $349--still high. BUT...if it makes way bigger difference than most anything else at that price, which the TC did, it seems a better buy than many other things that we think are more important--like a sightly better sounding amp, preamp, etc. If it is a universal improvement on any system, that is something that is very rare and makes the investment much smarter and with longer lasting results in the satisfaction of purchase category. Dissing the price in this case is one thing, pontificating about how it's no good or just like another product without trying it is wrong. YMMV but if it's never been driven, your opinion on how it drives or the quality of it is useless.
