Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

Very strange reality of looking at these simple and benign looking cards, mats and tiny tube of paste and experiencing what they do.  Sort of messes with my mind and sense of reason. 

Grannyring.
So you like them?
Lol.

I concur with ecards and their use around smaller DAC, power supplies, media server and equicore.

Freshly TC pasted system this morning and finally got around to finding time to sit down and listen to something.
First music I qued up on Tidal just 16/44 Red Velvet Car by Heart.

I am still sitting here with a big silly grin plastered across my face!

It is as though Ann Wilson is in the room performing just for me!
I know some made fun of my prior description but it is still as good as I can come up with.
The music is just there, in the air and all around.
It is definitely not coming out of my speakers, just can't be!

So yes very very happy as well and if it all only just gets better??
Oh boy!

Those of us that stream and utilize computer based audio will find these Ecards wonderful. Place them near critical areas like usb filters or reclockers. Near the outputs of your streamer no matter the type of interface used. If you use LPSs to power your clocks, filters, computers, servers etc...., then place an Ecard in each of these power supplies. If you have a special Pink Faun, SOTM or other sound card, then place the Ecard near it.

Point of clarification. These can just be placed on top of the unit as there is no need to place them inside the gear. The card’s back is conductive so if one decides to place these inside gear, then proper care must be taken to avoid any possibility of the card causing an unintended short. I was able to place them inside my gear as I have lots of experience inside electronics.

uberwaltz, did you try putting the Graphene stuff back in the container?

Well well, I have to share my recent experience. I know folks will think my comments are hyperbolic and I don’t blame them as I would think the same thing. It has been a long time since I have been this impassioned, at this level, with any new audio product or tweak. I will be direct here and not hold back what I am thinking and experiencing.

First, I have had one Emat in my system for some 6-8 weeks. I forget exactly how long. I have also TC pasted just about all I can safely in my rig.

Well I placed Ecards in the following positions. One .....

- in my Ifi USB 3 filter/reclocker
- in my linear power supply for the above Ifi unit
- in my linear power supply for my SOTM USB card
- in my CPT conditioner

The results are astounding. Why every single audio manufacturer does not put these in their units is beyond me. This is an absolute game changing technology that easily trumps every other tweak and modification I have executed over the past three decades.

How can I put it even more directly? Every single Aphile who really wants an emersive listening experience must, I repeat, must do the following. Purchase one TC paste kit. Purchase one 5 Ecard set. Read the thread and place where others have shared you get a Big Bang impact. This is how to begin. Sure at least one mat will follow. Now enjoy your CURRENT system like never before without needing to really do anything else.

Yup, I am excited and know of no other tweak or equipment upgrade that goes to this level of sound quality improvement. None, regardless of cost. No amp or dac upgrade will reach this level of improvement.

Is is possible a person or two will not realize this same experience? I suppose it is. However, for the other 95% enjoy!

I have two Ecards left and they will go into my TC paste treated speaker crossover networks.

I know Frank and others here keep on sharing their utter excitement and joy with these products and what they have accomplished in his system. I can tell you fellow Agoners they are not exaggerating one little bit.

Six weeks on my mats as of Thursday, and the sound is still improving. I've kind of made it my mission to see how long it keeps improving, while I don't make any changes to my system.

As uberwaltz says, a little goes a long way.

I've found it best to just gently squeeze the "plunger" so that just a small amount of paste barley comes out of the end of the tube, then dab the brush onto it from there. This way, there is very little waste. 

After pasting the innards of my power conditioner and the speaker crossovers, the sound has improved drastically.  I was listening to my favorite Karrin Allyson CD last night, and it was as though she was right there in front of the listening position singing to me personally. Down right awesome.

   So have you listened to your system yet uberwaltz?  Curios as to how it sounds now

Well I applied the TC paste this morning.
Squeezed out what I thought was a tiny amount but it was enough to do my main system, second system, third system AND the ht rig too!
Goes a long way.
This was all power cords, interconnect and speaker cable ends. I did not open up any equipment and do anything inside.
Doing contacts in the main breaker box will be a job for another day.

I must have 3/4 of the tube left! In the freezer it goes.

uberwaltz, The pins in the IEC are good to paste.  If you have a tube amp pasting the pins on the tubes a third to half the way up also has a great effect.  It's not that hard and really worth it. After all pins are pasted, plug in and take out and check under a good light to make sure there is no bridging of the TC between the pins.  Enjoy!

My system has been off for a week and with 6 cards added it was better right away as if it had been on for hours..better yet as the clock turned. Tom

Video calling?
Oh heck no....lol
Tim might never recover!
😝😝😝😝

Hey Kevin, A lot of guys have video called Timmy.... then he can talk you right through pasting your  equipment. <3 Glad you are finally trying it! <3 You will be thrilled! <3 Enjoy. Krissy.

Thx!
Tomorrow morning I intend to do all the power cords, all interconnect male ends and speaker cable banana plugs on the main system.
Pretty sure I read somewhere Here it was safe to do the actual iec power pins on the equipment itself as well.
I know Tim states to paste male ends only.

uberwaltz,  you will notice an immediate change after you apply the tc.  Then for at least the first 8 weeks it will cure and your system will continue to get better.  I have not gone crazy pasting everthing in my system but with interconnects, power cables and iec inlets I have noticed an incredible overall increase in all aspects of my system.

Correct Uber.  

- one in my Ifi USB 3 reclocker/filter along with TC paste
- one in each speaker crossover along with TC paste
- one on the back of each speaker driver along with TC paste. 

Yes, I will need a couple of more and will do so! 

Hopefully will get time this weekend to use some of the tc on some connections.
Can't remember the verdict on the TC. Is it pretty instant change or does that build up as well?

Grannyring.
So you ponied up for the five set.
Not in need of an odd 2 cards I assume now.
Enjoy them!

As the Vietnam veteran, while scratching an itchy metal plate in his head with a metal clothes hanger and wearing a Sonny Bono wig, commented in Texas Chainsaw Massacre Pt 2, “Music is my life! Heh heh.”

uberwaltz sez ...

• "Actually music is in my soul."
  

Yep, and that's the whole point of the audio hobby as far as I'm concerned. Great audio gets us closer to the music and the performers. And isn't that the discerning point between the true song stylists, the great musicians ... and the also-ran's, as well?  

Frank

An Ecard on the Walkman would do wonders.  Geoff must try it! 
I have a set of 5 on the way.

Actually music is in my soul.

😇😇😇

^^^

• Damage Control! Damage Control!  The music is in the air. 😀
  

With the use of earbuds, the music is all in your head. *lol*

Frank

Damage Control! Damage Control!  The music is in the air. 😀

Hmm
Maybe a pair of ecards attached to each earpiece of headphones would work wonders on the user......

Just a thought.....

🎧🎧

^^^ And whats to be said of audiophiles whose entire audio system consists of a Sony Walkman and a set of earbuds?

Crazy, I calls 'em.  :-)

On second thought, an Omega E Card taped to the outside of a Sony Walkman may do wonders for the sound. 

Frank

Ah, audiophiles who are enamored of preposterous tweaks for their cell phones that cost more than their cell phones who live in canyons. There’s a demographic that I would love to break into. 😀

I have two friends who will be ordering a pack of the E Cards for their headphone systems. Their amps and Dacs are very small, way too small for regular sized E Mats.

I live in an area that’s in a canyon, so the cell phone reception isn’t always good. In fact, sometimes it really sucks. So ... it will be a small E Card inside of my cell phone case for sure ... and then two cards each in my speaker crossover compartments that I’ve already pasted with Total Contact with very good results.

More genius from Tim Mrock. :-)

Frank

Gag you with a spoon???
Seriously?

Soup or serving spoon?

😉😉

Walkman are underrated, Missy. 😀

<3 It should even rock the world of a Walkman user.   <3

Music is in the air? Gag me with a spoon.

I’ve haven't had music coming from my speakers in twenty five years. 

Grannyring
Also a relatively new phenomenon, as of tonight really.
My speakers have completely disappeared.
Seriously I am sitting staring at one and trying to detect any music coming out of it but I cannot.
It just seems as if music is in the air, very nice.

I have cards on my iPhone and iPad. Along with the other benefits Krissy mentioned, what particularly stands out to me is how quickly apps open up, and the overall increase in “responsiveness”. I am also seeing an increase in crispness and brightness of the screen.

Grannyring.

I have 7 ecards total and one mat.

The mat is on the Inside of main breaker door as posts suggest that is most effective place to start.

Ecards.
1 on Brooklyn DAC.
1 on Bluesound vault2 music server
1 on Goldnote phono stage.
2 on Equicore 1800 power conditioner
2 on Ayre ax7e integrated.

Out of those card placements only the Ayre coukd be exchanged for a full mat due to size of other components.

To my ears and in my system, it reduced background noise substantially even over what the blue fuses and blue duplex achieved.

To me they seem to have had most effect on instruments like piano and acoustic guitar. Appears to be more air and separation on individual notes. Hard to describe but I can certainly tell a change.
Now they have only been in place 1 week so expecting more.

GK
I am sure that could be arranged......

The 6 foot 10 inch part at least.

The basketball star is all on you sir!

Uberwaltz, it would be nice if I were 6 10 then I could have been a big basketball star.

@uberwaltz.  Please update me again and others as to where you put the cards and what they did for your rig.  Thanks.  

Grannyring.

I do intend to buy another pack of the cards but might not be for a couple weeks. If nobody helps out prior to that I would let you have 2 of them for cost price for sure.

Agreed with Uber that Tim & Krissy are very nice to deal with. 

I have no idea if it can GK, it was just a guess. I mean would be nice if it could as I work in a lot of factories with lots of noise, electrical and interference of buildings etc.
Anything would be a bonus.

Can it boost reception? Seriously? I’ve never had a reception problem. Ever. I don’t get it, sorry. No offense.

Well maybe my guess on its actions on cellphones are correct then.
Still be nice to hear from anybody who has bought an ecard and tried it on a phone.

And just a shout out for Tim here as being a true gentleman and excellent to deal with all round.
I placed an order with him and before the ink was dry on the check I was writing for him he sent me a USPS tracking number and 2 days later I had the goods.
All this BEFORE I had even sent him his money!

Outstanding!

Funny, this new generation of kids... that’s ALL they listen to. Longer run time, better reception. Top to bottom, APPS are instant. No one has ever offered an upgrade quite like this
for an Iphone. Why wouldn’t you try it? It’s a big deal. <3 Krissy

Why not GK?
Today's smartphones are extremely powerful and competent. If it can say boost reception or help prolong battery life it would be a good idea.
Of course no idea if it does, I have not tried one between phone and case but might be worth a try just to see.
Anybody actually tried one on a phone yet?

Let me ask the question a different way. Why would anyone use it on a cell phone in the first place?

Seems they are good for many things including cell phones. I think they will be marketed to use on cell phones also.  I want them in my small LPSs and speaker crossover compartments. 

they can be used for a lot more than just your cell phone.

grannyring

Seems they are for cell phone use mostly/ideally. 

>>>>>Huh? What would be the point of that?
