I put a second Omega E Mat under the Sound Application power conditioner about three weeks ago. It continues to improve.
While the second mat degraded the sound for a few hours, the SQ quickly came back to where it was before. After the first week, the upper mid-range was spectacular, way better than before.
The lower bass was still a bit weak after placing the second mat .. and it still hasn’t come back completely. However, not only is the upper mid-range spectacular now, the entire mid-range, upper, middle and lower is drastically improved over the single mat. Hopefully, the solid, lower bass will return better than ever in another week or so.
Last night I listened to Rachmaninoff’s Third piano concerto in its entirety. This is a recording of the live event transferred from the master tape to the CD. I know this recording like the back of my hand. I’ve played it countless times. I hadn’t played it since putting the two mats under the power conditioner. To say that I heard it for the first time last night would be an understatement. This was an entirely new experience. The expanse of the hall was clearly "visible." The audience rustling, hacking and coughing was right in the room, or I was transported into their room. Either way, it was an experience. The real joy was in the music of course. What a wonderful orchestra (L.A.Phil), and the piano from top to bottom was super dynamic and real.
Two Omega E Mats under a power conditioner can do that? Who knew??
