Actually, my stereo sounded quite good, now it sounds better, no joking. And I was the biggest naysayer of them all if you go way back to the TC thread. And I don’t mean skeptical, I mean I was a jerk about it, speaking from a position of ignorance since I never tried any product. If you put the mats on your breaker box, it somehow ’cleans’ up the power, like a whole house conditioner. I’m not touting earth shattering for me personally, but a definite and undeniably positive effect, on my tv picture also. I definitively understand the skepticism, but the PPT products really do work, and they come with a 90 day return policy.
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Many of you own or have read of the highly-regarded PPT Omega E Mat, one of Tim Mrock’s revolutionary signal-enhancing accessories. Just prior to his untimely passing, Tim had finished developing a new generation of his Omega mat, soon to be available. Krissy Mrock has asked a few of us to introduce this new mat, here given the working title of The Double Omega.
In distinguishing the Double Omega, we know the original Omega, herein called the single, as a 7.5” by 10”, rather heavy and somewhat pliable mat, a bit more than 1/8” thick and with a vinyl-like feel. One face is glossy white, displaying the PPT logo and Omega name, while the other is black, smooth and magnetized. Sandwiched between these faces is the active material that causes components to reject the EMI that saturates everything in our surroundings. The Double Omega is much the same, with one important difference: the magnetized face has the finely-textured feel of around, say, 220-grit sandpaper. This texture, it is presumed, comprises yet a second active layer of EMI rejection. Presumed—because working details of the Double Omega are not well understood—better yet to know how to apply it.
With the understanding that the single Omega E mats generate field effects from both faces, mats have typically been placed under and over components and vertically over circuit breakers. How you apply the Double Omega will depend on best use and experimentation. In my case, I have removed two single mats, lying side-by-side, from the top of my large Wadia CDP and have replaced those with two Double Omegas. The Wadia is a one-box player that contains a pre-amp, so I wanted that second, strong field effect exerting downward as well as upward. I also have several singles placed underneath, just as before. Going straight to amps, this player is my only source, so I want it fully protected from EMI. Your priorities will differ.
As of this writing, I am only thirty-hours in on placing these Double Omegas, and I can already tell you they are powerful in their prevention of EMI within my digital source. Yet another veil has been lifted—all instruments and voices are even more sorted out in the aural space with new information heard within that space. There is much more decay heard against a new silence behind and between the musicians. I am already so pleased and excited about what the Double Omega E mats are doing. As Krissy told me, Tim was really stoked to have these new mats available. Rather than wait for the the fourteen-day window of improvement, I want to get this intro out so others can relay their experiences sooner.

uberwaltz, Descriptions in this thread went over what I usually see in cable and fuse threads. They did seem like people were competing in who will say nicer things with not many, if any, doubting it. Hardly a case in those other threads. My fault is that I read only recent responses without full original post which clearly states it is an advertising attempt. Pure advertising at its finest, sorry but have to call it as I see it. Bonus points for honesty. |
glupson ... Okay, admittedly some of my posts, perhaps many, would seem to have been over the top to the uninitiated. I understand that. No big deal for me. I just got off the phone with another A’goner who has the whole PPT kibosh ... The Gate, TC, Mats, Stop-Its, etc. We were discussing the effects that the new Omega *Plus* mats have, and the benefits they bring to the system over the original Omega mats. We both agreed on the same things. The Omega *Plus* mats bring a fuller, more organic sound to the instruments. It is hard to describe, because one wants to use terms like tubes vs solid-state, digital vs vinyl, but that really isn’t it either. Everything seems fuller in the presentation and a lot more natural, like you’re listening to instruments that are real. I’m including vocals in this too. I want to say that its a "warmer" sound, but that’s not it. That suggests a coloration .. and these mats do not color the sound. Even though there’s more detail and everything is faster, there is no longer a thought about those HiFi terms. I’ve said it before, with the use of these products, and then with the addition of the new mats, it really is like a real musical performance unfolding before you. The clarity is amazing. It is truly surprising how much grunge we have been feeding our electronics through dirty AC lines. You don’t know it is there until it is gone. With a 90-day return policy, what do you have to lose? Give it a try. Frank PS: This is not an ad. :-) |
