You’ll have to come up soon to hear what The Gate, the Stop-Its, and the new Omega *Plus* Mats are doing. If you were to apply the *Plus* Mats to your Legacy Focus and Signature III speakers, you wouldn’t want to leave home. Not even to replenish your food supply. :-)

Frank, if you hear my system now, you probably wouldn't want to leave either.  The new room and new DAC are superb additions.  It all adds up to more listening pleasure.  Last night I heard the very rare Grieg and Saint Saens 1903 and 1904 piano recordings on Marston CDs.  My wife said that there are some people who would appreciate the great pianism despite the sound limitations since they sold at least 700 CD sets.  If it wasn't the the new DAC and room, the sound would have been flat and lifeless.  

I can currently view Nirvana.
May not be attainable, but I know it's there...

Macbook Pro flicking through random tracks on the drive through Audirvana.
USB adaptor throwing NBA on the tv screen (my other addiction).

Really enjoying the Omega+ Emat. Music is even more enjoyable since putting it in my fuse box. Wondering what The Gate would do for my system. Would it even work on 240v?

Can anyone comment on the addition of the E-Mat
to the Gate (mounted in the breaker box)?  Where are you placing the mat?
What are you hearing that is different than just listening
the Gate alone?  Big difference?

I have both The Gate and the new Omega + mats in the circuit breaker box. Adding the mats was like supercharging The Gate. The mats were set up against the breaker switches, and the door was closed.

The new Omega + mats, in combination with The Gate, lowers the distortion even further than The Gate and the original two Omega mats that were in the breaker box. BUT ... the *Plus* mats have their own characteristics.  They seem to expose the tonality of instruments in a very positive way. It is hard to describe it, but you'll know its there. Just closer to real instruments playing before you. The same can be said for the human voice.  I've experienced that same phenomenon no matter where I place the *Plus* mats. 

My latest experiments with the new mats have been placing them on the speakers in line with the drivers. You've most likely read the results of that in the threads.   Big improvements to be had there.

If I had to number the most effective placements (in my system) for the *Plus* mats, I'd categorize it like this:

1. In the circuit breaker box.
2..On the outside of the speakers in line with the drivers.
3. Under the power conditioner.
4. Under the electronics ... amp, pre-amp, phono stage and then the CD player or DAC.
