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.
In the interests of keeping this thread in the same state it has managed over its time I will refrain from indulging in any further banter with Elizabeth.
After all the main reason it is so upbeat here is because the stuff works! I can only recall one member who thought the tc paste did not do much for his system.
All I have to say is just try it before bursting in and flinging mud and seeing where it sticks!
" What is humour ?" Humorism, or humoralism, was a system of medicine detailing the makeup and workings of the human body, adopted by Ancient Greek and Roman physicians and philosophers, positing that an excess or deficiency of any of four distinct bodily fluids in a person—known as humors ...... black bile Yellow bile phlegm blood I believe my answering the question is a form of phlegm.
While I fully understand those that are skeptical, I myself was very much so, but the dismissive and crass responses of some that haven’t even tried the products and therefore have no basis for their negativism is interesting. Why is that it seems that those that have never tried a product are those that are the most passionately against them on so many threads here at Audiogon? Freud would have a field day with such psyche’s.
The products aren’t necessarily cheap but for anyone to suggest they aren’t worth their price are talking out of ignorance. On one hand they’ll say they have no idea what they are and on the other hand say they can’t cost more than a few dollars to make. Huh? We have no idea how much they cost to make and more importantly, how much research and development went into them. I know this much, I’ve paid much more on cables that I’m very happy with yet didn’t bring near the sonic improvement of the PPT bundle I purchased.
To those of of us that are enjoying the benefits the PPT products have brought to our systems....cheers! To those that have tried them and felt they didn’t deliver....cheers for trying. To those with a healthy skepticism and haven’t tried them yet....I hope you do someday as I know from my own experience that my only regret is waiting as long as did before doing so.
Yes indeed. To those open minded and intentionally curious they will find these to be the best tweaks ever offered in terms of improving sound quality. Nothing better.
Yes, this thread has remained civil because we insist that it does. The PPT products not only provide breakthrough improvements--the creators of PPT are here, interacting with us to provide support, advice and great service. PPT represents all they have worked and risked for, so the criticisms on here become a bit more personal I would suggest. As many have pointed out, there is no risk in trying PPT products, so please try them, and don't knock them until you have.
If you say bad things about the magic mats or goo the post will disappear and you’ll be banned from here, so...all hail the magic goo!! It will cure your asthma too!
You love the hobby and great sound, right? Why not try the products (money back guarantee) and then come back and report your results.
By the way, I agree with you on the Shatki Holograms ... Cheap construction and overpriced. But ... they work like crazy. I have four in my room. Easy to a/b the results, and I've done that for friends. Take them out of the system and the sound-field collapses. I wouldn't enjoy my system nearly as much without the Shatki Holograms in the system.
Yes indeed I am Thecarpathian! Very much so and this morning I will be adding a tube pre/streamer/server/dac to the mix so expecting good things. Of course will have to wait for the ecards to work their magic on it......
Elizabeth You are a big girl now and certainly do not need or even want my advise but still. Just try them!
Tim will refund you if you are not bowled over. But you will be in for a surprise. There have been some serious Audiogon sceptics tried them and have been converted. Heck even Katie has an ecard taped to the back of his Walkman.
I procrastinated for the longest time before slapping down my hard earned money but I am exceedingly satisfied.
Do not pour ridicule on this tweak until you have tried it as it does truly work.
Elizabeth, sorry I struck a nerve. I just don't understand the hypocrisy of it all. Hopefully Tim and Krissy can provide you some assurances as they are good people with a great product.
Wow, THAT Charles?? I guess I should reconsider... Hmmm.... Well Maybe?................................ ........Nope. Sorry, not enough.And it is sort of curious how any thread about any wires at all get blasted with endless drivel by naysayers.. and here, in a thread of even stranger claims... no complaints.. no 'prove it' queries, just all lay down and worship the latest craze? (I confess I read NONE of it.. why? it is all the same drivel) I guess when you're hooked you're hooked. I didn't even really say anything BAD (until now) , and then the whining. "Why is SHE here?" LOL Skeptic? noooooo.. Not me. I am certain the product is just as good as claimed, I said so. Why don't you BELIEVE me? Maybe you don't believe it yourself? I MUST be saying something bad... Butt hurt.. butt hurt? I really like that insult., makes it clear you are such a deep deep thinker. The Hallograph is not a complaint about its function, more about the cost. (Question: is the ebony for a real need, or just to justify some sort of 'well look! it has ebony' Plus the fact ebony is endangered...) Same problem as this product. I bet it costs two bucks to make, and $599 is so folks don't think it is just cheap. Marketing 101. The two threads here, both endless love, never a bad word.. Seems fishy as I said when I wrote to the black goo thread. Same folks selling them too. Magic marketing... Most tweaks are some dirt cheap idea, then taken and turned into a money machine.
figuring out what dirt cheap thing was used as a basis.. that is what I am seeking. If I find it, I will be sure to let everyone know. Is that why I am 'a problem'? Should have just ignored my posts.. Now I am annoyed. Butt hurt... You were looking in a mirror on that one, it is really funny and just so obvious! Sorry I hurt your butt. Maybe use some hemorrhoid cream for it?
That would be the same Elizabeth that a lot of us have enjoyed reading her posts for years and missed her during her sabbatical. At least her mat will hold up her shopping list on the fridge.
Is this the same Elizabeth who starts a cable thread and gets butt hurt when people post disparaging remarks on whether one can hear differences or not?
@elizabeth Those sticks you call them, Hallographs, are made of three woods including ebony, quite expensive. Try buying some premium quality and then machining them. I've used Shakti Hallographs since they were invented and so do my friends who are mastering engineers, Robert Pincus, Better Records, Tom Port and Oregonpapa. Don't knock them until you've tried them. I have poorly focusing speakers (Legacy Focus which is a misnomer) and after using them, my speakers focus and have an expanded soundstage like a $50,000 pair.
As to the kitchen magnets, I tried six of them and they are worthless as to affecting my audio and video systems. On the contrary, the E-Mats, full size, one dozen, greatly improve my sonics. Just one on the main power box significantly improved the video picture with enhanced color and brightness on my 75" Sony 940D. My wife does not want me to remove it.
I've always enjoyed reading your posts. Why knock these great products?
Elizabeth I find your attitude and posts neither insulting or childish but usually illuminating. However on this subject I think you may have missed the mark quite badly.
I admit it would be a little tedious to trawl through all 1500 posts but it was established LONG ago that magnetism had nothing to do with the emats performance, rather just a convenient way of affixing them to breaker box doors and equipment etc. The smaller ecards have no magnetic properties whatsoever. But you go girl, fill us in with the sordid details as they happen. We are all 👂
’spoiling for a dustup’? Nooooo... I like folks who have a great idea and run with it. i guess I am just pointing to the basic material. I really had not even looked at the E mat but this thread having so many posts, got me the read a few entries of the latest posts. Well, same sort of praise as the black goo sort. Amazing, fantastic, unbelievable wonderful, spectacular.. ! So I went to the website and reading it is clear as day, the $599 gizmo is a refrigerator magnet! (they even SAY SO, kind of) Now this falls into the same sort as my all time favorite: Hallograph, Shakti sticks. Now yeah maybe shakti sticks are an original idea, but they cost maybe $10 to make commercially. sell for $1500. WOW. WOW. So I just felt the urge to buy some $23 versions of $599 products just to see can they ’do’ anything? I plan on sticking them on the tops of my $40 from eBay five disc changers! I am CERTAIN the $23 forms cannot possibly do as much as stuff which has the added "Quantum treatment’/magic smoke, voodoo treatment... But I’ll see.So it is several reasons. If you find my behavior childish? Good. If insulting. wait till I actually report the results.. It may be blowing $46 on nothing. (In the audio world $46 is not even money!) Where if I would have spent (the Emat is 1/3 the size of my $23 each magnetic mats. so for the same square inches, I would have had to spend 6 x $599 or $3600. Will my cheap gizmo costing 1/26 of the price (actually 1/78 by square inches) do MORE than 1/78 the effect??? Inquiring minds wish to know... what a markup. Give me a week, I’l let you know. Magic? no magic?Added... Now the E mat may have ERS paper fronting the magnet base?? unknown. So if so, that would add a few buck to the cost of making them.
Elizabeth Why on earth would you come here just to disparage all the obviously very well satisfied customers of the emats and ecards. Makes no sense unless you are bored and spoiling for a dustup.....
I am excited.. I just ordered two 13"x 19" E mats for $46 from Amazon.. (the Omega is 7.5" by 10" and cost $599 each. way way better! Oh.. I think they called the ones I am getting Refrigerator magnetic chalkboards.. My mistake, never mind. I am real certain the magic mojo in YOURS are way way more mojo’y magical and all that. They MUST BE for $599 a pop. But thank you for the idea..... I can draw some fancy magical QUANTUM stuff on mine to make up for being so cheap.. . BTW... Please tell my why my cheap junk will destroy my stereo.. I am certain you want to make sure no one is foolish enough to follow my example.
Congratulations on your purchase. You're going to love the effect and improvement in SQ. I know your question was about placing the E Mats into your circuit breaker but have you tried pasting your connections with the TC yet?
On the circuit breaker ... I haven't moved the two mats that were placed in the circuit breaker a few months ago, so I can't speak for that exact location. However, I've moved mats around from component to component over time, even loaning them to friends for listening sessions at their homes, and haven't noticed a substantial degradation in sound. I don't think a few hours would make much difference. At any rate, even if you left them off for days, and had to start from scratch, the improvement is almost immediate ... with a significant improvement over a day or so, even a half a day.
Hi All, I recently ordered and received one of the 'bundles' on offer. This was over the Christmas period and expecting some delay because I now live in Ireland, was most pleasantly surprised when the postman arrived a week later with my parcel.
During this period I had emails informing me that it had been posted and followed up with tracking info. Impressive service, so anyone outside the USA need not have any qualms about buying from PPT. If any of my South African friends are reading this, I say go for it
At the moment I am busy trying to keep the Irish rain outside our house. These repairs, damp proofing and renovations will take some time before I can get on to trying these products out but am looking for suggestions on what to treat.
From reading I see that the power distribution box is a must for an E-mat. I would like to place one near the breakers now but often need access to the breaker panel to isolate lighting or plug circuits. What is the effect of removing the mat for a few hours and then replacing it. I am chasing the walls for new plugs and lighting and would need to disturb the mat a few times.
<3 Make sure you've totally covered the outside of the tube AND it's dry. Then apply fresh, you are applying it to the TC shell you've encased on the tube. <3 <3 <3
<3 Hey Frank, I'm the lucky one. <3 We are just two peas in one weird pod. <3 LOL <3 <3 Happy Friday! <3
Question for Krissy. To be clear you’re saying to add TC to the tip of the tube and then put a ring of silver 28 ga wire tightly around it? Nipple jewelry for my tubes, my wife might get jealous 😜
Can you believe how accurate human voice sounds? Separation of instruments like never before too, right? It's going to continue to get better as the TC cures. :-)
^^^ it sounded so freaking good! I spun Van Morrisson "The Prophet Speaks." I am really digging this album. And the Analogue Productions "Tea for the Tillerman." Originally when I TC'd the interconnects, power outlet, and speaker cables, installed the one mat and 5 cards, I noticed a nice improvement but there was a lagtime. This time the impact was immediate!
I went to work like Picasso today and TC’d all my tubes: preamp, phono pre, and amplifier, (13 total). Went a little thick on the 6sn7 pins cause I could smell TC cooking in the pre, no harm done👍 Popped off the cover to the fuse panel, multimeter in hand (safety first) and TC’d my stereo breaker and wires. Now time to sit back and spin some Van M. and listen. Hopefully I won't get the urge to hack off an 👂 Cheers
