As with everything audio, one has to put it in context in order to evaluate it. In my case, the ML2s have a reasonably "high" and stable input impedance, the TAP TVC has a reasonably low (and totally stable) output impdance, and my cable runs are short. This in itself creates an effective "buffer", and the "inductance" presented by the TAP in this case is truly negligible with respect to frequency response. Also, despite all the wire, the thing has relatively low ESR, so in this case it does not "write its own curve" with a reactive load (which it does not see, in my case).
Still, if people asked me, then I would "recommend" the Placette, if only because it is effectively BUFFERED, and for most of the dimwits out there this will probably prove to mean more than other things they merely think would mean something.
Shoppers: Take Note.
