Geoff I will say that any part of any signal can be reflected back into the signal path. RF if can enter anywhere and it will ..will become part of the signal influence. There are multiple open input paths on most audio devices. Tom
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Many of you own or have read of the highly-regarded PPT Omega E Mat, one of Tim Mrock’s revolutionary signal-enhancing accessories. Just prior to his untimely passing, Tim had finished developing a new generation of his Omega mat, soon to be available. Krissy Mrock has asked a few of us to introduce this new mat, here given the working title of The Double Omega.
In distinguishing the Double Omega, we know the original Omega, herein called the single, as a 7.5” by 10”, rather heavy and somewhat pliable mat, a bit more than 1/8” thick and with a vinyl-like feel. One face is glossy white, displaying the PPT logo and Omega name, while the other is black, smooth and magnetized. Sandwiched between these faces is the active material that causes components to reject the EMI that saturates everything in our surroundings. The Double Omega is much the same, with one important difference: the magnetized face has the finely-textured feel of around, say, 220-grit sandpaper. This texture, it is presumed, comprises yet a second active layer of EMI rejection. Presumed—because working details of the Double Omega are not well understood—better yet to know how to apply it.
With the understanding that the single Omega E mats generate field effects from both faces, mats have typically been placed under and over components and vertically over circuit breakers. How you apply the Double Omega will depend on best use and experimentation. In my case, I have removed two single mats, lying side-by-side, from the top of my large Wadia CDP and have replaced those with two Double Omegas. The Wadia is a one-box player that contains a pre-amp, so I wanted that second, strong field effect exerting downward as well as upward. I also have several singles placed underneath, just as before. Going straight to amps, this player is my only source, so I want it fully protected from EMI. Your priorities will differ.
As of this writing, I am only thirty-hours in on placing these Double Omegas, and I can already tell you they are powerful in their prevention of EMI within my digital source. Yet another veil has been lifted—all instruments and voices are even more sorted out in the aural space with new information heard within that space. There is much more decay heard against a new silence behind and between the musicians. I am already so pleased and excited about what the Double Omega E mats are doing. As Krissy told me, Tim was really stoked to have these new mats available. Rather than wait for the the fourteen-day window of improvement, I want to get this intro out so others can relay their experiences sooner.

I don't really know the answer to that question either, although I've been told that when you have the 'soup of noise' in the home environment all the different 'alphabets' (EMR, EMI, RFI, microwaves, etc, etc) are not just 'passing through' each other' unaffected as it were, they are blending, interacting and influencing each other in the process. Don't ask me to defend exactly how this process works, I'm only, for now, accepting that maybe it does, but I'm plainly not enough of a physicist to fathom the hows. But, what you get in this noise mish mash is not the various noise types independent of each other, and not really so much clusters of them separately, but it has been described as a weird sort of "elephant man" distortion of the original waves...like a blob of standing waves that changes shape according to environment influences, the dynamic power-related ones of how many circuits in the room (or home) are active, off, in sleep mode or are changing with the power demands of the music, the wifi, other usage patterns or what have you. It may also shift its size or location when you like open a door or move around in the room. IOW, RF **may**, I only say may, be piggybacking, to some extent, onto other energies in the room that Do have a charge. The whole elephant-man blob, though, is looking for a path to ground. So it is attracted to anything in the room with lower resistance...your components, the in-wall wiring, anything metal and of course us - we are electrical. Perfect Path, Alan Maher Designs or whatever other quantum-based solutions going forward, will work on the same principle: to 'wick' away the 'blob' by providing a resistance that is lower than anything else in the room. This doesn't **completely** get rid of it, but it does plainly reduced that energy...the idea in general to reduce it inside the component, at the breaker box, the in-wall wiring, system wiring or wherever else it may be deemed advantageous, but note that where that idea points to in the end, is to effectively treat the whole home...even though for many people's particular performance goals, that would not be strictly necessary. Technically, as I understand it, this is done by attracting the positive charge of the blob into the noise reduction filter or device, in which it exits the other side as negative ions. IOW, these are environmental scrubbers...just scaled down from the industrial smoke stack applications. Graphene then, is not really the only material to be looking at for such a design. Highly conductive ceramics, high purity silver, gold or copper, nano-carbon fiber and anything else of very low resistance might be fair game. |
I think some stones like shungite does the work....ivan_nosnibor Very interesting post of yours thanks... |
