Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

A little bit of tc goes a long way.  I have used the tc and put the brush back in the freezer and when I used it again a week later there was still enough tc on the brush to do a couple more applications.  I still have a lot of tc left in my tube and I have done almost my whole system.  I will be applying on my tubes soon.  I also have another e mat coming and will update everyone on further system improvements.  Tc and one e mat have been a great investment for me in my system.

barbapapa,
I cleaned the brush with 90% Isopropyl alcohol. I removed the other tweaks from the area that the Omega mat is applied (breaker box). Tim only sent a small sample, but that's what I asked for and I appreciate it.

nkonor,
I do like people thinking outside of the norm. That’s why I like Bob Carver products, Cerious Technologies cables and PS Audio components. And I give Tim lots of credit for coming up with such a creative tweak. But higher end components will bring in the best future trade in value as apposed to a paste on the connections.

fleshler,
I haven’t actually heard the Aries but they seem to get great reviews.

oregonpappa,
I understand what you mean about the size of the Legacy speakers. I guess that’s why I went to the Amazing Line Source Carver speakers they are tall but take up only a very small footprint. I will try to contact you.

How did your system sound after removing the mat? 

ronrags,

From my posting on this thread on July 26, 2018.

"So last night I removed the Omega mat from the breaker box and placed it in my car in the garage.

12 hours later I turned my system back on and did some deep listening. Primarily to evaluate the sound quality without all the previous items in the breaker box including now without the Omega mat. As I write this, I find that the frequency extremes are still the same. Perhaps the soundstage is a little flatter as is not as deep. However, not as much change as I thought there would be. Very interesting and confusing. Why did I think the mat initially provided an increase in the sound quality?

So once again I reintroduced the Omega mat over the breakers. About 6 hours later I again sat down to listen. I found that… there was indeed a more satisfying sound. Huh? How? There was no frequency change, and not much change in the soundstage. Not anything that I could point specifically at. But the Omega mat did contribute to an overall deeper music appreciation.

It is now my opinion that the Omega mat excites an emotional feeling. It is sort of a feeling of a live presence that was lacking in the recorded sound. I don’t know how or why but it was easy to hear once it was reinserted."

I hope this helps.

Ozzy ...

You’ve discovered one of the the mysteries of the Omega E Mats.

As I stated in a previous post, initially, the mat actually degraded the sound of my system. That lasted for about a half day or so. Then the improvements started to appear.

In discussing this with Tim Mrock, he concluded that it was because I had used an inordinate amount of TC throughout the system and elsewhere inside and outside of the house. It took time for both the TC and the Mats to gel with each other.

I believe that there is some type of energy being thrown off by the Omega E Mats and that they somehow "charge up" the components that they rest under. Its kind of like pasting every part of a component with TC including the chassis, transistors, capacitors, and even circuit boards. Doubling or tripling up of the E mats increases the phenomenon.

I believe that when the Omega E Mats, or in your case the one mat, is removed, the "charge" remains for awhile, then slowly dissipates. This would account for the initial improvement you heard in your circuit box with the mat in, and then not noticing much of a difference when the mat was removed, only to find a return to improvement when you returned the mat to the circuit box again.

Call me crazy ... but I think these Omega E Mats have life. Same for the TC. I think Tim has hit upon a product/invention that will go way beyond the limited use we audiophiles will be putting it through.

At this point, the improvements in the SQ of my system with the TC applications and the six Omega E Mats, have brought the system to the point that I have absolutely no desire to upgrade any electronics or speakers from now on.

The system plays music that gets me totally involved in the performance ... and its as close to "live" music as I’ve heard from 99% of systems out there, including mega-buck systems. Its limited of course by scale ... but only by scale.

By many accounts, my system is fairly modest price wise for "high end." I put a pencil to it the other night. Had I bought everything in the system new, with no discounts, the retail value would be in the $70,000 range, not including the TC and the Omega E Mats.
