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.

My salutations Glupson….

I dont know for the recipe of the thread product, the Omega, but my recipe for my own sauce, is simple, and works for my ears...You can try it for low costs.... Buy some plates of shungite, wrap them with thin copper adhesive tape, and put it on the central electrical panel or the router-modem of your audio system or on the power chord etc ( with the copper facing the external side of the application) ...

My deduction, after my own experimental results is that perhaps, like many said here, there is something behind the Omega technology...I am sure if I was able to afford them I would try them, but for now my own homemade plate works in the same direction, not refine product, neither on the same level probably, but imaging, and more natural timbre for low costs... 

My guest is this Omega product work with a sandwich of materials that act similarly to my carbon based shungite+copper tape.... One thing is for sure, it is possible to improve in a spectacular manner the sound quality of any piece of gear and from the central electrical panel to the speakers, and the Omega products it seems works that way, and after my own experience I am of the opinion that it is possible, and this product which is way more cleverly researched than mine must work marvellously ….The "sauce" is some mix and sandwich of materials, akin to my carbon+copper, or similar products that acted in the same direction... 

My best to you and to all...

Would that be real photons or virtual photons?

>>>>They are real photons. You know, like X-rays and gamma rays and microwave RF.

By the way for the anecdote and about something that was arising my curiosity when I read it here somewhere, I think from Oregonpapa, I will say this:

Some shungite pyramids (4) were in my refrigerator for more than one year now, and the fruits and vegetables are on a longer duration and keep fresh longer, and the refrigerator works better....One day the mother of my wife bought the same brussell sprouts than my wife attached to their natural stalk, 2 stalks, same day together and same place.... His stalk ( wife’s mother) were wasted and yellow after few days, my wife stalk of brussels sprouts were edible for a month( I know that because I eat the few last after a month and they were delicious)... After that I offer her some shungite pyramids and she observe a great improvement in his own refrigerator on all counts even the functioning of the machine itself... Shungite is not only good if use correctly in audio it seems … :)


A last word: I am in no way linked to the Omega path technology products or customers...I speak only from my own experience and results ...

Another last word: 
My recipe is more primitive technology than the Omega for sure, for example, there is no break-in of the product in weeks duration, neither change in the improvement or temporary worsening of the sound( I dont think so for mine but I must wait) which has been observed by customers...Then it seems that my somewhat successful recipe lack something important to play at the level of the Omega products....But my homemade recipe is nevermind at the end successful, not costlier, and prove to me that a more refine technology can indeed act marvellously...If I gain more money someday, no doubt I will try the Omega products out of my curiosity....

Oregonpapa,
After experiencing great results from the Total Contact product, I'm beginning my Omega E Mat, Alpha E Card and Duplex journey.

Since you are among the experts here, a couple questions (if you don't mind):
1. I'm placing 1 Omega E Mat on top of my power conditioner. Should I place it closer to the receptacle end (power cord connections) versus the front of the unit?

2. Can you provide more detail regarding "where" on your speakers you are placing the mats? I have Cessaro Horn Acoustics (back loaded horn driver).....do you see any placement issues I should avoid?
3. I use Shun Mook Diamond Resonator feet on all components, so all components are elevated about 4" above an all wood Box Furniture rack. Any issue to consider.

4. I have an all tube system (mono 300B amps, tube preamp, tube DAC etc etc). Anything to consider versus solid state systems?

Thank you for the advice and council.

Hi Frank, I know you tweaked your CD player but my new DAC with an untreated same player through the SPDIF out as a transport only (high end A/C cable but no PPT or internal fuse upgrade) reveals twice as much information. The height, width, depth, detail and even top to bottom frequency response is superior. My model COS Engineering D2 is noteworthy for its warmth as well. The H1 has superior openess but with a less dense tonality (great bass though). My combination has dynamics, resolution, etc. which can better my analog with a spitting similar tonal balance. Amazing.  The superiority extends to my EAR Acute as well-100% better (I would claim 200% but there is nothing more than 100%)..
