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.

"Just a little tidbit for Gulpson and Geoff to chew on. :-)"
Today is a good day. Every geoffkait’s post makes sense.

At the same time, if you guys want to help a lady, why not switch to the more promising forum? Why are you pushing it here?


You have a product protected by, still not located, patent with potential use for decreasing energy consumption on a large scale. You are pushing it between each other, maybe ten of you with another 100 or whatever low number of potential customers, augmented by indulgence of blasting those who see it from the side.

For example, European Union has many laws of which some are regarding decreasing energy expenditure. Some of the countries are even more interested in that than others.

Why don’t you focus your intentions to help on a potentially huge market? Why not approach the government of France and present the energy savings and positive environmental impact, let’s say from refrigerator use, with application of Omega E-Mat+? You could help the lady and then some. Maybe even the whole human kind.

If you think it is better to stay in strictly audio world, have you tried to help except on this thread? Have you contacted potential distributors in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan? Have you asked them how many listening sessions with local audiophiles they could organize to present this mat?

Instead of that, you spend your time making fun of geoffkait, me, and whoever has not bought the mat yet. Not that efficient of an approach and far from helpful.

The main reason I don't spend much time here is the negativity on posts. Guys who haven't tried products, stating as fact that it couldn't/shouldn't/won't make a blind bit of difference.

Enough. I want to know from experience what people think on a range of products.
From experience.
From similar models/additions/tweaks, both positive and negative.
From what they have heard others mention.

I won't comment on tube gear, because I've never owned any. However, I don't like them because they won't fit where my system is. Do any of you care? I hope not. So why the heck would I then criticise any of you (who share the same passion as I) or your gear? Ridiculous.

The fuse debate goes round in circles. I'm sold, and have bought and enriched my listening experience a few times now.

It gets personal. There is too much that is not right in this world, and I don't want to add these discussions as proof on the human condition.
I'm not a 'glass half full' guy. The glass is brimming, imho.

Note: I'm relatively new here, and have only been an audio enthusiast for 40 years.

glupson ...

You hit on a good point with your last post.

Like most visionaries, Tim had plans that were much more far-reaching than just mere audio. I used to listen to him totally rapt by his enthusiasm and dreams for the future of his designs. Audio was Tim's hobby and he used it as a vehicle to advance his designs. We, the audio enthusiasts, were the lucky recipients of items dropped off on a journey being taken by a genius as he passed by us as he pursued his dreams.

I remember one night, he discussed with me how he was going to turn the electric auto industry on its ear performance-wise. He was telling me how much more of a performance car he could turn Teslas’ into. He increased the performance of his own vehicle tremendously. Even Tim was amazed at the improvement.

That’s just one example he gave me over time. Some of the other ideas were bigger than that, and were about huge industrial applications for his inventions.

So have had 2 original e mats in system for close to 7 weeks both on my main electrical panel, borrowed from a friend. Was thinking on buying used ones then a few days ago took them out of system. I was hoping to hear the SQ degrade but after 50 hrs of them being out I can't tell any difference. Really wanted to hear something.
More to discover
