Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

I forgot to mention the E-Mat affect on sound level and dynamics.  The sound level increased by about 20%, two clicks of 24 on my volume control.  However, the dynamic range also increased resulting in me playing music louder.  Playing music louder with the enhanced clarity doesn't seem too loud, just more realistic sounding.  The E-Mats are a wonderful addition to my system although I'm using six of them to achieve this result.

I'm posting this again for those you missed it.   07-19-2018 4:09pmI use a Walker Talisman to demagnetize my CDs and LPs every time I play them. The difference between a magnetized CD and a Talisman demagnetized CD is as different as using 6 E-mats when comparing a magnetized (several plays of a CD for instance) and a "Talismaned" demagnetized CD. The Talisman is just a big pair of magnets but works like a powered tape demagnetizer unit, but is non-powered, easy to hold and use and small item.  I highly recommend it.

I also have an Acoustic Revive RD1 which does a so-so job and which I purchased prior to the Talisman.  

I will try again with the cheap magnetic sheets around the TV and on the Blu Ray player. Will wait till after dark to do any kind of evaluation.

The Talisman is also effective on interconnects.

The question I have remains what can 60 mil kitchen magnet mats do for E-Mats  stacked under or above them?  Can it enhance their effect, have no effect or have a detrimental effect? 

I'm wondering if the mat has the TC painted on it underneath the magnet?

fleschler,

I don’t have a definitive answer for you, as I haven’t tried magnetic mats with the Omega. However, since Tim has clearly stated that the magnet has nothing to do with the effect, but is simply there for convenience of placement, I doubt additional magnets would enhance it. If anything, I think they would be more likely to be detrimental.
