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.

No - don't believe he has tried the Herkimer. As noted, for now my stuff is on hold until I get some stuff done (have new power recliners on order and will move the power recliners I have in the main room now to a secondary room and need to get stuff done with other things on the schedule). When I get around to getting some more Shungite tiles (probably not for a few months) for the secondary systems (and while they are good I don't use them tons), I'll see if I can get to it. It's not a big priority for me as I use mainly the Perfect Path stuff in the main system, as well as have Perfect Path mat in the breaker box. One of the secondary systems (while very good for audio) is used for for UHD TV and movies (and its my priority when the new sets with ATSC 3.0 tuners come out to get a bigger set than I have not and then rotate what I have - then I'll be playing with that system) more than anything else. |
Thanks cascadesphil for your answer, I understand your situation...And I dont doubt that Omega path products are better anyway than the golden plate... I am just curious about the exact difference... :) |
Both the Perfect Path stuff and stuff like Akiko Audio (I have the Triple AC Enhancer plugged into my Torus Power Conditioner as well as of late Friday an eMat+ beneath it - and I understand that Perfect Path may also eventually be making a plug in device like the Akiko) do a similar thing as the Shungite, except much more and better (more focus). I recently used some Shungite paint on some things too - make a home version of Stop-Its. The paint doesn't stick great to the plastic child proof receptacle covers and also it's too much of a pain to get copper shielding tape on (and one ends up stripping off the paint in many cases). I kept a bunch and plugged them it. I gave a bunch to a friend (who will be away for several days) and he will bring them over to another friend's house, along with the Shungite tiles to give him a taste of it. I told him if the home made Stop-Its work to any degree, I'd take back what was left in the box (of 50) unpainted and paint them for anyone who wants to try them. When I paint my rooms, I'll use the Shungite paint on the inside of the receptacle covers (since I'm going to be taking them off anyway). Of course as a bang for the buck, the Shungite is one of the best cheap tweaks that anyone can do (so if someone hasn't jumped in you're missing out). |
cascadesphil Both the Perfect Path stuff and stuff like Akiko Audio....do a similar thing as the Shungite, except much more and better (more focus).My point is precisely that, you must use copper tape on one side to polarize the effect of the shungite, and you must also use most of the times with it the tourmaline or Herkimer diamond to balance the effect of the powerful shungite… If not, the effect of the shungite will be less focused, less strong, and erratic in the frequencies... I had called that kind of plate "golden" plate for this reason... My best... By the way I had near between 25 or 30 golden plates in my audio system... And upgrading electronic components indeed seems a past thing for me... |
