The teeny tiny little brush on the applicator works for me. But it depends on what the connector looks like as to whether there’s any risk. For Audioquest Carbon HDMI connector there is no risk of creating a short inside the connector. A tooth pick proved futile, as fate would have it.
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
I’m curious about this product from Perfect Path Technologies and would like to hear from those that have experience with it. I’ve bought and used the Total Contact enhancer and like what it does for my system so I’m interested in hearing how this Omega E mat performs.

jmolsberg, I can't say I have compared the mat at the breaker panel vs all mats at equipment, but I sure have good results favoring sensitive equipment--try the big mat under larger amp or phono stage the rest under smaller pieces, etc. You will instantly say, "I need more mats." They are that good. Paint all connections with the TC, including prongs on power cords, interconnects, speaker spades, etc., and please post your progress and results. It' going to be fun. |
Ordered the "modest bundle," which contains: one e-mat, five a-cards and the TC. So where to put this stuff? The e-mat in the breaker, and one card each on Audience PC, phono-pre, Decware amp, Zrock2, and/or Linear Tube Audio pre or its powers supply. You can see my stereo https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7335, and I appreciate any thoughts you might share. Cheers |

Haven't heard the particular album you alluded to, but I'm experiencing percussion like never before. Some of my Arthur Lyman recordings are so dynamic with all of the bongos, congas, vibes, jungle sound effects are ... simply amazing. If you find a quiet copy of these, jump on them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LP-TABOO-1957-The-Exotic-Sounds-of-ARTHUR-LYMAN-Rare-Vinyl-HiFi-Stereo-Disc... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arthur-Lyman-Taboo-Volume-2-Stereo-LP-HiFi-Records-SR-822/273529644758?hash... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arthur-Lyman-The-Legend-Of-Pele-1959-LP-HIFI-SR-813-space-age-VG/2329804233... Be sure to look for stereo copies. They also came in mono. The stereo versions are better. Frank |
<3 Hey there! Timmy stepped out today for a fun project he's been working on. . . try calling him again, he should be back home. He always makes time for customers. It's the best part! <3 603-203-4486. <3 <3 Peter Murphy came ALIVE last night, almost spooky. <3 SO real. <3 Thanks to everyone for your patience while we grow! <3 Krissy |
Listening to Rippington’s "Welcome To the St. James Club", an all-digital recording from 1990 on the GRP label, an early adopter of DDD recordings, e.g., Dave Grusin and Lee Ritenour’s very listenable "Harlequin" is from 1985. Despite the synthesized trappings of the era, this album has amazing percussion dynamics and staging, better heard with the two additional E mats, placed only a week ago. |
More fun last night. The sound quality advanced even further. I have a small circuit breaker panel in the closet of my master bedroom that I had completely forgotten about. I put an E Mat in there yesterday. Zowie! More of everything we like. The picture on the TV improved again too. Frank PS: Tommylion ... thanks for the heads up on the plugs. :-) |
Website is looking really good! Frank, I'm using these shorting plugs: https://www.hificollective.co.uk/catalog/shorting-plugs-pair-p-4271.html I believe I TC'd them, I’ll have to check. |
Good morning to everyone! I have already received several bundle inquires. If you are a previous customer you may substitute the TC kit for a another deck of E Cards or a $300 credit for a additional E mat. The customer will always be our number one priority! @aniwolf keep the feedback coming! Our webmaster saw your post, as of this morning speed has doubled, and will further increase in the days to come. Also wanted to thank our Webmaster, Diego Puerta of New Zealand, he took a blank slate and built this beautiful site! He has big plans and the site will continue to evolve, thanks Diego, your the BEST! Last thing I wanted to mention, all domestic shipping is FREE, all international shipping is a flat 29.99. Thank you for all of your continued support and business Tim Mrock |

Good thinking, grannyring. I had the thought last night wondering if there would be some way to use Tim's technology on shorting plugs on the unused RCA inlets on the back of line stages. Maybe I'll get some shorting plugs and paste them with TC. You never know ... Frank |
<3 Our website is up and running! www.perfectpathtechnologies.com <3 Be sure to check it out! <3 Krissy |
Good afternoon! <3 The main system is eight days magnet free today. <3 WOWSERS <3 The music is so pure and full of life. Hard to believe it could get any clearer~ did the noise floor drop again? Special thanks to the audiophile who inspired Tim to place 10 mats under each component. I might need a few more for my car. lol. <3 We love reading your experiences with these products. <3 Enjoy the music. <3 Krissy <3 |
Last night's session was fantastic. The TC pasted power conditioner and speaker crossovers are really coming into their own. Also, the E Cards on the power cords are paying off now too. I'm beginning to wonder just how close to real performers in space can these good red book CD's get? I'm in awe. Frank |
And another convert to the cause. Lol Carefull what you say as some would have you believe you are being self centered for spending money on tweaks and that you cannot possibly be hearing what you are hearing. All this without ever trying any of these tweaks themselves. Just enjoy the music as I do and let the naysayers go fly a kite in a hurricane! |
There must be something special about E-card. I ordered one set (5cards) on last Sunday. I received it Tuesday. After placing near power cables on the equipment, the noise got reduced with more natural sound. I ordered one more set. Tim kindly sent me 6 E-cards. It was really bad day today. I lost 150 $ Blue fuse in Line Magnetic 508 amplifier. I guess that power tube may had popped up leading to short. I went back to Rogue Cronus Magnum II but it does not sound bad with 11 E-cards and 5 SR Blue cables and one Blue fuse inside Dac. If I want to find out the contribution of each new tweaks, I have to do lot of substitution. After blowing one of Blue fuse, I am not in such a mood to try that. I am just enjoying the music through my old buddy, Rogue Cronus Maganum II. |
Its good to see some new people talking about their experience with the e mats and tc. Just remember the sound will get better as time goes on. I now have 8 mats and a set of e cards and the sound I am getting is unbelievable. I have never been happier with a tweak then with the combo of e mats and tc. My speakers have vanished and my soundstage is around the whole room like never before, very happy. |
Last monday I received 3 emats and 3 ecards. As I want to modify one thing at a time, I only put 2 emats under the Torus AVR16. This is a big 22 ‘’ deep and 125 Lb baby tht makes me think 2 are needed. I sticked one directly under the transfo and the other one (under also), but nearer the electrical inputs. I’ll install the third Emat in 3 weeks in the house breaker where there is one already installed. Ecards are sticked 1 behind the IPad and 2 under the router waiting to settle in the batteries PSU of my TW Acustic Raven AC. So for the first 3 or 4 days things navigated from good to strange. Sometimes good on some messages and sometimes odd and uncomfortable. Yesterday things began to settle down and made me think the best is still to come and this idea made me feel happy. I’ll say more in a few weeks but what shoke me the most was the feeling of proximity with the singers and musicians. This « global » impression comes from objective parameters (highs, medium, naturalness, etc) that contribute to this, but the only interesting thing is the global result, meaning musical pleasure. That’s what all of us are looking for I guess ? |
Nicely said Jafreeman! I find it hard to put into words the effects that have been wrought admittedly by the numerous varied tweaks present now. But I rarely break out the vinyl nowadays, maybe just once a week whereas Tidal is playing every night for sure. Right now listening to a Tidal MQA stream of Fleetwood Mac and I am just savouring every note and every word. Totally mesmerizing. |

Couldn't have said it better. I listen to mostly CD's now. Never thought I'd ever say that, but red book CD's (when properly recorded) sound amazing ... and so ... so ... so ... analog like. :-) Frank |
The accolades are pouring in---just added a fourth mat and two e-cards, all under the ARC Ref 210's, mats in back, cards in front. Still have two under the Wadia 861 SE GNSC. What I am hearing already: new information between the main instruments, which are richer and more rounded. The inner detail of musical flourishes in a production that I had not been hearing are amazing. It's as if I am now hearing digital's "dark matter", a hidden tapestry of sound that completes my aural perception. No one can convince me now that analog is superior--the digital glare must be that part of the signal that cannot be transmitted---until now. The PPT products are allowing better digital resolution of the signal path, and this from an older player and more mats needed to cover the spaces under all the gear. My thanks to Tim and Krissy for what they are producing! |
Well another eye opener. I just decided to take a lie down and listen to some music more in the background. So I chose the bedroom which has the 3rd system in which is very simple and basic. Holy moly, was seriously unprepared for what I heard. I had always considered this rig to be somewhat dull and lacking sparkle and oomph. Not now heck no. 3 different albums in and I am still not relaxing with it as background music as was the initial intent. Thoroughly enjoying it is what is occurring! I am deeply impressed at changes wrought by TC paste only that has been curing for just under a week now. |
As I continue discovering new places to paste with TC, I have an ongoing experience with the TC "curing" and the sound improving over time. Just finished listening to a CD with Chet Baker and Bill Evans. Glorious! https://www.ebay.com/itm/CHET-BAKER-BILL-EVANS-PIANO-LEGENDARY-SESSIONS-NEW-CD/381793231663?epid=801... Its a compilation, so a few of the cuts are weak ... but most are really great Chet Baker in his prime. Frank |

Hi Frank, Thank you for your consideration. No I do not take handouts, however gracious the offer. I told Tim the same a while back when I was spinning out mentally after being diagnosed with.... When our new house is finally built (it's 12 months later than we thought), I will contact Tim to try some TC. I don't know about mats... our voltage and frequency is different to the US, but I'll leave that one for the creator. Thanks again though. You are a gentleman and I mean that sincerely, despite the sparing... |
.My questions have been answered by a number of like minded posters on the (and other) threads. Whether I agree or not is not relevant to me. I wanted to know HOW these work, just to satisfy the inquisitive engineer in me. It is in my DNA to ask. I’ve always asked. The fact of asking places me in the doubters side immediately. But I can stand on the fence or be on the Yay side equally. I know manufacturers will not give away technology secrets so easily. Heck, I wouldn’t if it were my IP. So no offence given and non taken. And when I can afford them I too might partake of these products. |
amg56 What if the E-Cards technology is so simple and so safe that anyone could duplicate it, or maybe just simple enough for a company like Synergistic Research? I understand that could be the reason and reticence in releasing any more information other than it works. My friend also does something to his products, that if revealed, would be easily and cheaply duplicated so he doesn’t let anyone know, just a 60 day money back guarantee. |
^^^ Placing the four E Cards on the power cords where they attach to the equipment yesterday was really worthwhile. This morning’s listening session was better than it was last night ... and that's really saying something. I highly recommend that anyone who has the E Cards try placing them on the ends of their power cords. If need be, try a little dab of Blu-Tac. Frank |
