Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat

Here is my take on the eMat.  I have a fairly nice system, have what I consider decent but not extravagant anything, nice enough speaker cables, interconnects and aftermarket power cables.  I can hear changes when made to my system easy enough. Other than that just mentioned I have never purchased one tweak.  I happened to obtain a few eMats free from a friend.  So no skin in the game one way or the other.

I put the mats in the cover of my electric panel and on or under all major components (not speakers).  I also made one other minor change to my system I cannot remember.  I have to say that at the time I noticed a nice identifiable improvement in the sound of my system.  But because of the other non eMat related change there is always that question in my mind how much improvement there would have been without it.  Personally I attribute it all to the eMats but truly have no idea how.

I don’t disagree people are free to do what they want but that has nothing to do with my comment. Some things they may choose to do are better than others. I welcome any and all responses that take the discussion in a useful direction. Meanwhile I had my say.

I think people with less elaborate systems are constantly looking for inexpensive ways to improve their systems and fall pray to marketing hype.

It is the old science vs religion conundrum. So, keep up the good fight. It is a lot of fun watching them squiggle around the facts. They can not get their heads around the fact that some of us do not have to hear an item personally to know it does not work. Guys, it is just knowledge and experience. It is very easy to take advantage of those that have neither.

Well said, @mijostyn

And this is specifically w.r.t. the Legacy III’s which were somewhat average at the time and have significant issues with the integration of the two different technology tweeters, and would not be, as Dr. Toole mentions above"neutral". They have a significant anomaly where the two speakers crossover.

You drown the cat of your past post all about reflections, willing to bash oregonpapa...

Now you switch about the particular speakers choice of Toole....To excuse his defence of reflections use....Even if the room of oregonpapa is smaller then it is there more easy to use reflections than in the Toole room ...

Forgetting about his particular view of the positive use of reflections especially in small room like Oregonpapa one...You said that Oregonpapa has too much reflections and now his speakers are trash and this is the main point....

All reflections are good in Toole room not on oregonpapa room....

And now the remark of Toole made sense only with this Mirage speakers.... All others kind of speakers of the past decades, dixit audiodesign distorting Toole article, are trash....

If we analyse after reading the post of Quixote the post of Sancho Panza(mijostyn) the cat ressuscitate:

Golly, that is an awful room, awful loudspeakers too. It seems that Dr Toole has a lot of knowledge but terrible ears or maybe he does not earn enough in his profession to be able to afford the good stuff and I am not saying that in a bad way, it is true for a lot of us. We do the best that we can.

Except audiodesign, all people, turntables owners, tweakers, Even Toole, are not on the road and lack knoweledge...

All that from these 2 who speak ill against all these people, turntables owners, tweakers, pretending science...It is almost all audiophiles... 😊


No acoustician by the way are on the same page exactly about small room treatment.... It is an art when applied  not a pure science....

By the way there exist too much hate in the forum....

Arguments ONLY have value...

I hate nobody here and speak to ANYONE....

But some go on hating each other for years...

Only arguments make sense.... Nothing else....
