I don’t wish to cast dispersions but it appears Frank has become glubson’s new straight man. I don’t find anything wrong with that, I always liked Abbott and Costello.
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.

geoffkait ... Actually, Geoff, you can consider me to be the brilliant university economics professor and Glubson to be the first-year student who, not knowing what he doesn’t know, continues to challenge the professor’s positions. Paraphrasing an old adage ... "You CAN teach a new pup a few tricks." The problem arises when the "new pup" doesn’t have an open mind. I do, however, see a few cracks starting to appear. :-) Frank |
oregonpapa, Reviews for your speakers seem to be very favorable, at least for the times they were published. My "concern" is that they do age and slip in performance. That is inevitable but it has to depend mostly on luck. With some luck, they may go another 15 years with no problem. With less luck, everything will dry out. It is great that it works for you this way, and the logic is clear. Still, it must be a rare approach. Cars are more often approached that way (money pits that improve performance with some tweaks eventually costing way more than the original car itself). |
