Perfect Path Technologies confusion

I’ve 8 STOP IT plugs and 3 Alpha E cards.  An exhaustive search of the forum and PPT website has not revealed to me clear concise usage parameters.  I own The Gate and that had only one closed ended application and it works well.

One STOP IT each in unused receptacle?  Or two in each if the plug is unused?  The cards, one atop each piece centered, over the power supply or under the unit?  Or stack them.  Thank you in advance.

When a tiny company advertises the use of nanotechnology for an audio system usage, claiming that you just put it under any audio component or stick it inside your power input panel to achieve all manner and sort of magical audible improvements, loud bells should be ringing in your head.  When they further offer no other explanation of how it works or how it should be used, it should be apparent that they know it doesn't and it doesn't matter.  Admit to yourself that you have been scammed and do everything in your power to get your money back.

I use a Stop It in each unfilled ac location. So if a duplex is totally blank and open then I use 2 Stop Its
.
The E Cards seem to work well anywhere . A friend has 2 on his Linn Lp12 at irregular and unusual angles he said it made a nice improvement.
At another house I placed 1 E Card over the breaker in his box that feeds his audio wall..very noticeable and immediate increase in air and resolution. I really think the placement of the cards and the mats on a single chassis is not that crucial. The effect of the cards and mats is almost fluid like and in a short time fills the chassis with many musical benefits. I have over time placed more than 1 card or more than 1 mat on all my component parts and there has always been another benefit to soundstage and density.  Tim thought there was a benefit in sound when the mats or cards were stacked. If you have just the 3 then I would put 1 on each component.  This has been my experience. Tom

When people who have never heard something (I’m coming into this discussion late--correct me if you’ve tried these and didn’t find any benefit) say it must be a fraud, my reaction, is that it might be, but you have no way of knowing.

Since a number of people claim benefits, I’ve ordered one mat and I’ll see if I can tell any difference or not (this board is dangerous). Not sure I’ll be buying tons of them considering the expense, but I’m curious. If it works, that doesn’t mean the theory of the company selling it is necessarily why/how it works--if I works, I don’t care why.

Seeing people upset because something can’t work is interesting. Perhaps it is threatening to them because if it works then their idea of what can or can’t work and how the world works is flawed.
