OK, I think I can say now that the TAP does have some "beneficial effects" in my system. It is rather like the effect of a LO MC step-up transformer, but not so pronounced. The "beneficial effect" is to somehow present raw signal without as much "glare" or "hash" as the wire itself would introduce. This also might come across as greater dynamics, but I don't think it is that. And, oddly, "colors" seem to be "re-constituted", with less "bleed" and less "scatter" or "ghosting". The TAP seems to do this without significantly diminishing colors or color range, either, and neither does it "heat up" the color.
No "help" with timing that I can detect, but no harm, either.
Remember that I have tailored my system to the TAP's electrical idiosyncracies, so don't try this at home.
That's about it for now, and likely for a while, as I am moving again (!).
Best regards,
