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.

I got four of the original E mats with two on the panel door and one in each power conditioner I have. They’ve been great but would love to find out how the new mat exceeds the old. I did see a drop in my electric bill about a month after installing the second mat and this was in the summer here in AZ. Could have been something else I suppose but I ain’t complaining especially since the music and tv sound and look so good.  

@oregonpapa. I just got another orange fuse in the system system in my dac. The first was for my Dodd preamp that I had the stock fuse pasted with TC and when the orange went in things took a step down but after a week and a half the soundstage really opened up and it was awesome. Funny now because my dac had a blue and instantly once the orange was in I liked it better. 

Keep bringing up jazz artists you like. I’ve never in my life listened to more jazz than this past year and am always looking out for new to me bands and musicians. I really have taken a liking to Latin and particularly Brazilian jazz but enjoy various genres. Happy listening!

Strange things seem really strange to the uninitiated. Research the Catholic Church regarding Galileo.

I've had to adjust the thermostat for the refrigerator a number of times since being introduced to the PPT products a few years ago.

Most recently, after placing the two new Omega "Plus" mats into the circuit breaker box, the cream cheese I keep in the vegetable box froze, as did an onion. Ever tried slicing a frozen onion? It is akin to slicing a billiard ball, only a lot more slippery.

Indeed, one of Tim's dreams was to install his creations into large industrial panels so that the electric bill of commercial enterprises would be reduced, saving millions in energy costs, and to also help the environment.

He talked in terms of hospital operating rooms and the lighting there. He talked in terms of savings in costs from running huge air conditioning units in hotels, hospitals, and industrial buildings. He talked in terms of saving the world. He kind of reminded me, albeit, on a reduced scale, of Nicola Tesla.

Geoff, your post makes 0 sense and what may sound logical to some has no factual logic behind it.


The thermostat turns off when the temperature get to X usually about 3C or 37F.  Doesn't matter how efficient your system is, that is when it turns off.


Cooling capacity is governed by compressor speed which is either fixed to AC frequency if AC motor or fixed to electronics if DC. Electrical efficiency does not impact cooling capacity only energy usage.


Residual cooling after motor is turned off is defined by coolant, not electrical. Time constant, i.e. how fast fridge cools is quite slow so residual cold is fairly low.  


This product will not cause things to freeze in your fridge. 


Things that cause freezing are lowered outside air temps which can cause thermostat inaccuracy (only in one spot) and not opening the door for long periods which can cause temp differentials due to lack of air flow from infrequent turn ons, cool air movement from freezer, and minor amplification of residual cool.


You are desperately clutching for straws.
