Hi Lew.
Nothing personal taken. Believe me, I had thought of that while writing the thread. I am as jaded and skeptical about just about every aspect of this hobby (tweaks and cables among the highest ranking in my rancor) when it comes to manufacturers, dealers and folks like us making wild claims. This is specifically why I had to make the post; I seriously cannot believe a friggin' mat can cause such a pleasing, ultra-precise and just more refined sound all-around. Hyperbole? Maybe. You might be onto something here; but in the past, almost every tweak or cable or whatever really only highlighted subtle differences in my system(s)...it was never night versus day — never. So, while the Auditorium mat isn't necessarily night & day, it is really quite noticeable.
As for WTA becoming (or maybe it's already here) a poster table for hyperbole, don't think I haven't thought of that, either. I'm comfortable with that, though. I mean, at least it isn't in the Linn canons of sonic truth. ;)
