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.

@toetapaudio Who did I insult? I was particular to offer it "In my humble opinion" and that we are all entitled to an opinion. If anything, your post is divisive by placing people into one nice camp and the other a vehemently opposed camp, which they are not necessarily. Maybe you can explain what I cannot see?

I, and others are entitled to ask questions of a product which has no information available, and I cannot find anything on the web about. If "posters (or is that postees?)" are repeatedly claiming that the latest tweak is the best, and the resultant effect on that particular system is better than the previous best, then the question becomes "so what is the net effect of all these advertised tweaks?". A black sound floor that was blacker than the previous black? In addition, these "tweaks" are not inexpensive, at least to my meagre budget.

@fleschler You are the one being insulting. Both you and @toetapaudio are using insulting, divisive language.

It would be good to have the designers view on what led him to the design of the mat and what he thinks it is doing. I presume it’s similar to other products by Bybee, SR and Akiko which work by absorbing RFI and EMF.

>>>>>Huh? First of all magnets don’t absorb, attract or shield RFI or EMI. Nor can magnets bend or attract or absorb light.  Second, even if it did there are much less expensive ways to absorb or shield RFI/EMI, for example draping a Carbon Fiber cloth over the component. Third, even if magnetic material shielded or absorbed RFI it would have to be wrapped completely around the component. What the mat might do, being magnetic, is absorb magnetic fields, which could be done cheaply with mu metal.

@ toeapaudio It would be good to have the designers view on what led him to the design of the mat and what he thinks it is doing. I presume it’s similar to other products by Bybee, SR and Akiko which work by absorbing RFI and EMF. I wonder how these mats can be selective and not also absorb some of the musical details? My experience with Bybee is hit and miss

I can not share the chemistry. It is similar to in premise to the above mentioned devices, and others, but only in concept of use that's it.
The magnet has absolutely nothing to do with the sonic properties,
it was chosen for versatility of placement. My #1 goal with the design
was to offer a level of performance never offered before regardless of
price.

For those who do not understand why I do not want to go into detail on the nitty gritty of the technology, I will spell it out COPY CATS, hence the 30 day return guarantee.

As far as similar products, I had 6 Bybee iQSEs in my system previously. Although they did provide some sonic benefit, it was minor compared to what the the Omega mats are doing.

The Omega mat is obviously more expensive than the iQSE. However, if I was forced to choose between 5 iQSEs and one Omega (same price), I would definitely take the one Omega.
