Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Having been a music lover and audio enthusiast for more decades than I care to admit to I’ve had the privilege of owning some tremendous components over those years and thought I had attained a level of musical enjoyment that would be difficult to improve upon without spending more money than I could afford. Then along came The Gate to turn my audio conceptions on end.
While I was quite skeptical of all of the positive proclamations regarding the Perfect Path mats, cards and contact enhancer ( how could they possibly bring about such sonic improvements?) I took the plunge and purchased a nano bundle to see what the hubbub was all about. Much to my surprise they not only brought about improvements to my systems’ ability to recreate a more musical sound but did so in spades.
When Tim of Perfect Path Technologies asked if I wanted to try his new product, The Gate, I jumped at the chance thinking it would be a nice addition to what the other products provided. I wasn’t prepared for the quantum leap The Gate brought to my music listening pleasure. As much as the other products brought about a much lower noise floor, greater detail and delicacy, improved dynamics, richer tone and more realism The Gate does so in magnitudes difficult to describe. The best way I can describe its affect is unreal purity leading the most realistic musical sound I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing.....outside of a live performance obviously. It has me listening to all of my CD’s as if for the first time again.
I have no idea how The Gate actually works or what it does I just know it’s the most dramatic tweak to my system I’ve ever experienced and I wouldn’t think of being without it. As to how it’s implemented, it’s installed in the electrical panel with one lead connected to the common buss and the other to a breaker ( preferably 220). Hope I got the terminology correct.....I’m far from being an electrician!
At $4,999.00 it’s not cheap but worth every penny to me as I’ve spent more on components with less sonic improvement.
Lastly, I realize some will scoff at something they can’t understand and I get not understanding it as I don’t, but I would hope people could keep their skepticism healthy and civil. I am not here to promote or sell, nor do I have any affiliation with PPT. I am only sharing something that I’ve found to be transforming in my system. Sorry for the lengthy introduction.

I love it when people lacking much more than a basic understand of electricity of physics speak so confidently about electricity (or physics). I reminds me of this meme: https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/1/let-me-interrupt-your-expertise... Electro - MAGNETIC. Super simple here, but voltage sets up an electrical (electrostatic) field, causes carriers to move, moving carriers generate a magnetic field, . While the field is predominantly outside the charge carrier (wire), the wire heavily impacts the charge carriers and hence the magnetic field, and its effect dominates at low frequencies (in most cases). While the field theoretically goes on forever, the field strength is far far higher between the conductors and close to them. Hence things that are between the conductors and really close to them have an effect, things farther away very very quickly stop having any effect. When you take a lack of understanding of electricity and couple it with a product of unknown functionality, you end up with all kinds of creative explanations, but at the end of the day, you have resistors, capacitors, inductors, and throw in some active circuits. Sure there are memristors, but those are contentious already and not applicable. What I am saying is what appears are magic to some, could be but simple circuitry to others, and it probably wouldn't take long with some basic circuitry to get a pretty clear idea of what it does (or does not do). |
The optimal humidity level in the listening room. The humidity % is
evidently going to affect all the components, large and small, in the
system, as well as the air through which the sound waves are transmitted
before they reach your ears. How important this is would be a factor of room size and what your settling time is for higher frequencies. Not sure I would want to use low humidity to address slap-echo though. If you have a larger room, it could definitely make a measurable difference. It also makes a difference in what you hear in a live performance especially in a large venue non-amplified like the symphony. |
@mahgister Your irony detector is malfunctioning.Absolutely not, i know first hand that you like sarcasm about any "tweak"... But sometimes your sarcasm propose an involuntary evident truth... Your sarcasm machine was under performing.... Humidity is not a good thing for any electronic device.... This is common sense...I keep my audio room to 50 %... Try common sense +sarcasm.... And use other qualification than "thin foil hat"....Try be be an adult.... |
