Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat

Due to the magnets, this is what happened when I put the the mats on the back of my speakers (I also have a second system with Legacy Signature IIIs).  On the rear bottom where the crossover is located, it elevated the bass response.   On the rear behind drivers, it elevated the mids and tweeters.   So, it did have a profound effect, just not one I wanted.   Much like using Synergistic Research HFTs.   For non-magnetic reasons, the HFT-X under my tweeters just enhance the highs too much for my system and the HFT regular in the rear enhance the mids too much (enhance meaning making prominent).  I have tried Mats on power panels, isolation transformers and other equipment.  No go but they always made a difference, quite prominently.  So I recommend trying them out to see if they enhance the sound you want.  

My Legacy Signature IIIs have every available surface area covered in PPT Mats. Yep, it looks weird, but the improvement in sound was really significant and well worth the effort. I listen in a low-light environment, so the mats on the speakers don’t bother me at all.

Last night the system had Janice Ian front and center ... almost like I could reach out and touch her. Also, I listened to a private recording of the L.A. Phil performing Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto transferred directly from the master tape. It was like I was being transported right into the concert hall ... and the piano was dead-on tonally. Simply amazing.

That's the most amazing part, that spine-tingling feeling of "it's right there!" Just can't get that any other way. Not that I have found. And I have tried a LOT of different ways! 

Isn't it funny though, that guy, he's actually getting close, but never will get there because of his awful attitude. Won't ever even know what we're talking about. Sad. And yet, hilarious!

I have used TC and was very, very happy with the results.  Had I know Tim was sick and there was uncertainty about future supply, I would have bought many, many tubes of it. I have had to disassemble and move my system multiple times now and the magic is receding :(

"A magnet when you think about it is nothing more than a static electromagnetic field."

Does this apply to "moving magnet", too?

The only non-PPT enhanced system I've ever heard that came close to the kind of realism we are getting was Randy Cooley's room (Optimal Enchantment) at one of the audio shows. Randy always plays tasteful music during his demonstrations. He was using all of the ARC reference stuff, the big Basis turntable, and Vandersteen's best speakers. The retail value of Randy's demo system had to be several hundreds of thousands of dollars. And yet, my modest Legacy Signature IIIs are pumping out sound like that. Even better actually.
