Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

  @ozzy   Only 5%.  Well I guess it is system dependent because I would say I have about 20%(just a rough estimate),  but the gains in soundstage bass and overall relaxation of the music has been better then some pretty expensive power cord upgrades.  Also someone mentioned that the mat adds emotion to the music and I could not agree more.  Much more toe tapping and enjoyment of music.  And yes mine has improved over the days since I added it.  I would say the impact of the mat may be greater then the impact of total contact,  which is kind of unbelievable.

The combination of Total Contact and the Omega E Mats is stunning. 

Ozzy ... did you remove all of your Bybee devises as suggested? The reason I ask is, either your 5% estimate is way too conservative, or there is something interfering with the mat's ability to work as advertised.

kedoades,

To me 5% is quite a bit. The Omega mat is not equal to a component upgrade/change but it does add to my enjoyment. Could I live without it? Sure, but I would prefer to keep it.
Perhaps if I had more of them to work with my estimate would change. However so would the cost. In my perspective, if 5 of them are needed to improve the sound substantially then for that $3000 I would first consider a component upgrade, or perhaps the SR active grounding block.


oregonpapa,

I removed the Bybee’s that were at the circuit breaker box that I replaced with the Omega mat. I did not remove all of the rest of the Bybee’s throughout my system. Again, if I had more mats then I would replace the Bybee’s.

Littlecx,

when I spoke to Tim a few weeks ago, he said that it helps his laptop run cooler but we did not discuss any sonic benefits in detail. We just ran out of time. You may want to give him call or just ask him through the forum. I think it may help since a lot of digital noise is generated from computers in general.

I guess I just asked the question.

 Very courious,

I am impressed with the Omega Mats improving a system over an extended period of time. I placed one mat on the sub panel circuit breaker door June 10 and one on my Oppo 203 DVD player and Pass Lab INT-60 amp on June 18. This week I noticed further improved audio and video improvement with the AV system and  audio improvement with the stereo system.
I am pleased with the results on these three locations and have ordered additional Omega Mats to try with my SACD players, headphone amp, and on the main circuit breaker door.

I have found the improvement generated by each Mat  to be worth their price. It certainly is easier than swapping out power amps (my Pass Lab INT-60 amp does weigh over 100 lbs). Also the break in roller coaster (to me) is less than when comparing power cords and interconnects. Finally the cost to return the Mat with it's 30 day return policy makes it rather fun to try.
