Another ozzy Review


Another ozzy Review

I must say that I have been a long time tweaker, and I have tried most of the raved about tweaks, including cables, footers, and power products. So, so many…

If you look up ozzy on Audiogon you can see my long history, and you can also find some of my negative reviews and comments. And yes, I have posted some negative comments of the Perfect Path products. Some of my posts got deleted. Yes, I was a skeptic, very much so. The claims of its performance seemed highly exaggerated. With no technical explanation provided? What the heck can this thin mat possibly do?

Well, I now have tried the new Omega + mats and I must say that I am now a totally Perfect Path Technologies convert.

I placed 2 of the Omega + mats in my circuit breaker box and sure enough within hours the picture quality of all of my TV’s in the house started looking better. That is, better color, sharpness, and contrast. In my audio system the sound stage became much deeper and vibrant in tonality. There is a “realness” to the music. Other than equipment upgrades this has been the single biggest improvement in my audio system. Awesome! Congratulations Krissy!

The only place where the Omega mats did not work well was under my tube amps. The soundstage narrowed. Interesting, was it the tubes? Or the fact that the amps are handwired with little if any modern electronics inside? Perhaps it is just my amps? I dunno…

I have read claims that the Omega Mats can reduce electric bills and when I heard that, I thought what a crock…

But now I think, if it can clean up the picture and audio throughout the house (as it does), it doesn’t take much more to imagine that it is cleaning up the AC. Perhaps eliminating the distortion in the AC that I was paying for. I actually now do expect that my next electric bills to show a reduction in Kilowatt used. But only if I play my audio system about the same amount of time as before. The way I am going now with such improved / increased sound quality that may not happen, its on all the time!

Along with my order for the mats, I also received a few of the Alpha cards as well. I then placed these cards in areas that I had Bybee Signal Enhancers and the Bybee IQSE enhancers. And wow again, I could instantly hear the benefit of these small cards over the Bybee’s. I just sold off the Bybee’s which included the Signal Enhancers and the IQSE versions. They were pretty easy to sell, but I don’t regret it. It should give me more money to buy more of the Perfect Path products! I also previously sold off all of my High Fidelity MC-0.5’s, they didn’t cohabitate with the PPP well. That is; there was a rough sharpness to the sound quality with the MC-05’s in the system.

The claims for these products do seem to be outlandish, and at first, they seem a little pricey but the improvement obtained would cost so much more in equipment upgrades. I’m still not sure what sort of technology is being used but boy I am highly impressed; you will be too!

  Ozzy ...

One of the nicest feelings is "vindication." :-)

Thank you for the great review. I may have sounded like the barker at the circus from time to time, but now you know, and as others are finding out very quickly, the value of these products. 

Guys, if you can swing it financially, you have to progress with these new Omega + mats. After placing them in the circuit breaker box and under the equipment, you must try them on the sides and rear of your speakers in line with the drivers. As Ozzy said ... you won't want to turn the system off.

I need sleep.

flashhog ...

The Omega + E-Mats will put you right into the play. The more + Mats you add to your system, the more "they are here" clarity there is. Not only is the "scale" of the presentation improved, but there is an added bonus with the "Plus" mats. They seem to expose a more accurate tonal balance in instruments and voices. The original E-Mats are no slouches, however, the "Plus mats bring things to a whole different level.

On the tube amps and preamps ... I have both, and they have the mats under them. It was a more than worthwhile improvement there also.

Merry Christmas, Ozzy. 

Wait 'till you try the mats on the speakers. It will be Christmas morning all over again. :-)

Ozzy ...

As they take a while to permeate through the speakers, it will take time for the effects to dissipate once you remove them.

^^^ I have a Teac CD burner that is the same as the Tascam. I have two original E-Mats under it with no probems.

  •  I guess my concern would be getting the mats too close to a hard drive if the magnetism is an issue.
I have a pretty impressive bedroom system for what it is. Just a desktop PC with a pair of powered Audioengine A2+ speakers. Considering that I have a Gate installed in the circuit breaker box, that largely contributes to the good sound that comes from this system. However, I do have 20 Alpha-E Cards magnetically attached to the outside surfaces of the PC and a few more rests on the modem. To date, no problems with the hard drive on the PC.

By the way, Ozzy, I want to share this with you...

A friend of mine, a well-known cable builder, put together two rather elaborate filtering systems that plugged into my power conditioner. At the time we installed them years ago, it was a definite improvement and took care of system problems that existed at that point. 

Two days ago, I decided to try the system with the filters removed. Well, to say there was an improvement would be understating the situation. It was like a wall of smeared glass was removed from the sound-field. 

I have two audiophile friends coming over for a listening session today. They are very familiar with the system, so they are going to be shocked. 

The point is, if anyone has PPT products in their system and is using plug-in filters of any kind, try removing them and see what happens.
