Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

shadorne - What magnificent, fantastic sounding system do you have?  It must be great not to have to tweak your fine equipment or room to achieve the best sounding room in the world.  Let us know or shut up.

How does @shadorne not have a valid point to make?  @oregonpapa  says he was up to 30 E-Mats in his system at one time!  Hey, I  believe in cable differences, burn-in, footers, acoustical treatment of listening rooms etc.  I have not used either TC or the E-Mat but I am not prepared to make a statement that they don't work to improve a system.  I've been pleasantly surprised on numerous occasions with various tweaks that have rendered a benefit far exceeding my expectations.

But... 30 mats?  Come on.  If you were trying to see how far the positive benefits could go I get that!  I also commend @oregonpapa for doling multiple mats to his audio friends.  That's a cool thing to do!  

By beating up on @shadorne  for his skepticism about your reliance on these tweaks is a bit much and unfortunately, for me, puts a sour taste in my mouth regarding trying Mr. Mrock's products.

From reading what @shadorne has said, it seems to me he is more of an audio fundamentalist in the sense that getting the fundamentals (equipment) right is the avenue leading to a fine system.  A valid point of view, no?

shadorne is a broken record (or skipping CD for younger folks). Anytime there’s a thread about any kind of tweak, he will show up, trash peoples equipment, and say everyone should just get gear like his, that is so well built and designed it doesn’t need “bandaids”, and will certainly not benefit from any tweak. He never actually tells us what he has, though.

In defense of the good @shadorne he does have three virtual systems posted so his preferences in gear are well documented ...

Guys his system(s) are there for you to see under his virtual systems page. He has some nice stuff and I have always liked the idea of using ATC powered speakers with a great source and preamp. I don’t doubt his rig sounds great. Would it benefit from TC and the mat? I think so. He has however taken a very smart approach to great sound in his set up.

He does offer out an interesting proposition regardless of how old the claim gets. I think both he and the land of tweaks like the E-mat can live together for the ultimate rig. I would really enjoy his take on the E-mat and TC after actually using them in his system. Not sure this would ever happen? I would love to hear his rig!
