Perfect Path Technologies

Other threads have been focused on one particular product, and I thought it might be appropriate to start a more general one to discuss various current (and future) products from this company. Users of PPT products, and those who are interested in or considering them, please post your experience, thoughts, questions etc.


Lively, spirited dialog is encouraged, but please, be respectful and do not engage in personal attacks on, or disparagement of, other posters. Remember, tolerance is all about how we treat those we disagree with.


I purchased a new home in early October, so I have been in the process of getting my system set up, settled in, and back to where it was before. During that time I had forgotten a little bit how profound the “Perfect Path Effect” is. Does it defy conventional thinking, and easy explanation? Absolutely, but I have proven to myself over and over that it is very real.


All the signal and AC connections in my system were previously treated with Total Contact. It had plenty of time to cure, so I did not reapply it when I set up this time. I have 16 of the original Omega mats, two each under my CD transport, DAC, pre, amp, power strip, on top of my speakers, and on the outside of my breaker box. I have an Alpha card on the back of both speakers, over the crossover. I have StopIts on the unused inputs and output of my pre. I have StopIt ACs in all the unused listening room outlets. The latest addition is a pair of Omega+ mats on the outside of my breaker box.


I could go on and on about natural detail & dynamics, coherence, involvement with, and just plain “realness” of the music, but, in the end, it’s something you have to hear for yourself. I really wish I could have everyone that reads this over to listen with me 🙂

Sometimes the 'why' can't be explained.
How can that possibly affect sound reproduction?

And the negative attacks/posts/comments from the outside, could appear at some level almost to be valid.

Except...
The multitude of responses from direct experiences for all the things that we have tried/installed/tested/tweaked.
Not advertising, tricking. Just our honest responses and experiences.

e.g. I held off buying good isolation pads under my equipment for years. I had a negative view; couldn't possibly have the affect others were stating. Kept it to myself though. Had Sorbothane, then Vibropods. Why something else?

Bought Black Ravioli pads for amp, DAC and power supply a few months ago. And wow, what an improvement. Consolidated all the changes and tweaks I'd been adding. And had to eat humble pie.
Again, I was wrong.

Lots of things are hard to explain, this hobby is very full of them, ever since audiophile cables first reared their ugly heads 40 years ago. There are scads of other things that have prompted audiophiles to flip their gizzards ever since. Audio cones, vibration isolation, CD fluids, WA Quantum Chips, tiny little bowl resonators, Schumann frequency generators, crystals, the Intelligent Chip, Shakti Stone, the Tice Clock, the Clever Little Clock, Silver Rainbow Foil, Cream Electret, Red X Pen, Green Pen, Purple Pen, Ultra Tweeters, demagnetizations of CDs and cables, fancy fuses, directionality, even the “audio signal.” And many others.

millercsrbon, I am very grateful that we are able enjoy the benefits of things, without having to know the how or why.

>>>A little curiosity wouldn’t kill you, you know. My least favorite expression is, “Golly, I have no idea how this thing works but works it does!” Oft declared by reviewers, designers, statesmen and philosophers.

One that I often use is: "I don't know how it works, and I don't care."
