Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Having been a music lover and audio enthusiast for more decades than I care to admit to I’ve had the privilege of owning some tremendous components over those years and thought I had attained a level of musical enjoyment that would be difficult to improve upon without spending more money than I could afford. Then along came The Gate to turn my audio conceptions on end.
While I was quite skeptical of all of the positive proclamations regarding the Perfect Path mats, cards and contact enhancer ( how could they possibly bring about such sonic improvements?) I took the plunge and purchased a nano bundle to see what the hubbub was all about. Much to my surprise they not only brought about improvements to my systems’ ability to recreate a more musical sound but did so in spades.
When Tim of Perfect Path Technologies asked if I wanted to try his new product, The Gate, I jumped at the chance thinking it would be a nice addition to what the other products provided. I wasn’t prepared for the quantum leap The Gate brought to my music listening pleasure. As much as the other products brought about a much lower noise floor, greater detail and delicacy, improved dynamics, richer tone and more realism The Gate does so in magnitudes difficult to describe. The best way I can describe its affect is unreal purity leading the most realistic musical sound I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing.....outside of a live performance obviously. It has me listening to all of my CD’s as if for the first time again.
I have no idea how The Gate actually works or what it does I just know it’s the most dramatic tweak to my system I’ve ever experienced and I wouldn’t think of being without it. As to how it’s implemented, it’s installed in the electrical panel with one lead connected to the common buss and the other to a breaker ( preferably 220). Hope I got the terminology correct.....I’m far from being an electrician!
At $4,999.00 it’s not cheap but worth every penny to me as I’ve spent more on components with less sonic improvement.
Lastly, I realize some will scoff at something they can’t understand and I get not understanding it as I don’t, but I would hope people could keep their skepticism healthy and civil. I am not here to promote or sell, nor do I have any affiliation with PPT. I am only sharing something that I’ve found to be transforming in my system. Sorry for the lengthy introduction.

I have just completed reading this thread. OMG. So, I am building a new house. I used the PPT paste in my last house on all of my components. I also used the SR Blue fuse on my Raven Tube amp. Yes, I did hear an improvement in sound. So now I am wondering what I really need to do. It sounds like if I install the Gate in my 400amp panel that is all I need to do for cleaner power and surge protection. Why would I also need the Mats? Cards? Or for that matter the Paste? How can you really determine the difference in sound quality between these various tweaks? I find it hard to believe that you will have that much more of an incremental improvement in sound by adding all of these tweaks. I am going to have another theater room with high end projection. Would the gate improve the picture from the projector? When the house is complete I am getting all new equipment. Lucky me. I will paste my components similar to before. If I don't spend the money on the gate and buy the Mats, I am not sure I understand how they are attached in the circuit panel box? Do you glue them to the inside panel? I have a Lumin X-1 streamer. It is on one inch footers. Would you place the mat underneath the Lumin or on top of it? So the question for me is do I want to spend money on a whole house surge protection system or the Gate? Or do I just want to get the New SR Orange fuses, paste my contact points and buy a few Mats. By the way, my new two channel system will consist of Viking Acoustic Grande Voix speakers, Canary Audio M600 Mono tube amps and C1800 Preamp with the Lumin X-1 streamer. I know I will have beautiful music even if I don't do a thing. |
willgolf ... Lucky you, indeed. However, I suspect that hard work and innovation had a lot more to do with your success than luck. :-) The PPT products build on each other. Every step is an improvement. Once I had the Gate installed, and already having used the TC paste everywhere possible, I thought there was no more to wring from the system. Then along came the Stop-Its and the Omega Plus Mats. I don’t have an overhead projector like you do, but I do have a rear-projection 73" Mitsubishi TV. I’ve pasted all contacts on the DVD player and the satellite box. I also pasted the connections for the projector bulb. I have the original E-mats under the DVD player and satellite box as well. To say that the picture was improved would be an understatement. And, as the other members will attest to ... I never overstate a position. :-) Of all the PPT products, The Gate was the most effective. Second to The Gate would be the new Omega + E-Mats. I’m not discounting the TC paste here either. I’m kind of in a quandary at this point trying to decide what ranks where ... but The Gate is definitely number one. As you know, there’s a 90-day return policy, so you might want to try everything out before you make a final decision. Give Krissy a call. She will be more than helpful and very willing to help you out. Frank PS: On the mats in the circuit breaker box. I have four mats, plus The Gate in my circuit breaker box at this point in time. I just stacked the mats up against the switches and gently closed the door. Amazing results. |
