Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’


Having been a music lover and audio enthusiast for more decades than I care to admit to I’ve had the privilege of owning some tremendous components over those years and thought I had attained a level of musical enjoyment that would be difficult to improve upon without spending more money than I could afford. Then along came The Gate to turn my audio conceptions on end. 

While I was quite skeptical of all of the positive proclamations regarding the Perfect Path mats, cards and contact enhancer ( how could they possibly bring about such sonic improvements?) I took the plunge and purchased a nano bundle to see what the hubbub was all about. Much to my surprise they not only brought about improvements to my systems’ ability to recreate a more musical sound but did so in spades. 

When Tim of Perfect Path Technologies asked if I wanted to try his new product, The Gate, I jumped at the chance thinking it would be a nice addition to what the other products provided. I wasn’t prepared for the quantum leap The Gate brought to my music listening pleasure. As much as the other products brought about a much lower noise floor, greater detail and delicacy, improved dynamics, richer tone and more realism The Gate does so in magnitudes difficult to describe. The best way I can describe its affect is unreal purity leading the most realistic musical sound I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing.....outside of a live performance obviously. It has me listening to all of my CD’s as if for the first time again.

I have no idea how The Gate actually works or what it does I just know it’s the most dramatic tweak to my system I’ve ever experienced and I wouldn’t think of being without it. As to how it’s implemented, it’s installed in the electrical panel with one lead connected to the common buss and the other to a breaker ( preferably 220). Hope I got the terminology correct.....I’m far from being an electrician!

At $4,999.00 it’s not cheap but worth every penny to me as I’ve spent more on components with less sonic improvement. 

Lastly, I realize some will scoff at something they can’t understand and I get not understanding it as I don’t, but I would hope people could keep their skepticism healthy and civil. I am not here to promote or sell, nor do I have any affiliation with PPT. I am only sharing something that I’ve found to be transforming in my system. Sorry for the lengthy introduction.

I haven’t bought the PPT Gate yet. But -

I bought PPT Total Contact. I bought one tube and used it. It was mindblowing. I bought another and used it. That’s 2 tubes. Then I bought 4 more tubes which haven’t arrived yet. That will be 6 tubes. That doesn’t include the free tube that arrived unexpectedly. I must like it!

I bought PPT E-Mats. I bought 3. I must have liked them because I bought 6 more. Somehow I received 12 even though I only paid for 9. How did that happen, isn’t PPT supposed to be a rip-off? I would say emphatically not.

I bought a bunch of PPT Alpha E-Cards. But I ended up with a very big bunch of E-cards, several more than I ordered. Somehow I also ended up with 10 gold RCA caps that I didn’t pay for either.

I don’t know anyone at PPT except for some friendly emails. When I ordered from them, I didn’t know what to expect because of all the crazy negative posts I read here before taking the plunge. The mindless negativity nearly turned me off buying from PPT. It really grates with me when people call PPT a rip-off. They’re not, they are the exact opposite. I haven’t heard the Gate, but I have no doubt, no doubt at all that it will be as good as has been claimed. Like everything else they sell.

@noromance, I believe the Gate comes with a full, no risk 90 day money back guarantee. So the assertion of anyone being ripped off does not apply to the Gate, agreed?
There seems to be an amazing resistance to the term "ripped off."
I am not saying it doesn’t work or that the company is not giving some perceived value. Think about it. If you went back in time and visited a great king whose child was dying. You told him you could cure his child for $5000. He gladly agreed. You gave the child $50 worth of antibiotics. Child lives. King pays up. You have exploited his ignorance. Now imagine a company discover that putting a high quality $50 600v 4uF cap across the mains line filters noise. They market the product correctly knowing that niche products in audiophile circles can command untold markups. That is being ripped off.
Your analogy as it applies to this product makes no sense at all, I'm afraid. Think about it.
