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.

@grannyring ,
Never heard of the Truth preamp. Very intriguing.
You are pleased with it?
geoff, you feeling all right this morning?
You didn't proofread your post, and if the Energizer Bunny was wind up, he wouldn't need a battery.

Further discussion with you is pointless.

Perhaps in a few years when you grow up, you'll be capable of understanding what I and others are trying to convey to you.

What began as a harmless distraction for me has turned into a time wasting annoyance.

I am through with you.

Nice,uber! I placed one on the breaker box and one under my Odyssey Candela pre. Have a card across the speaker cables right at the amp. Will let them settle in a bit and have a listening session later.
Colored? Clarity is the word. PPT tweaks have allowed me to hear details in songs that were previously masked. An extended note, the tinkling of a background chime, whispers in a live recording....
Colored? Yes, the color black. As in a blacker background that clears away whatever haze my system has. Also jay, not nice to make malicious, unsubstantiated statements now is it.
No, Jay. You don't understand-
"At least this one shouldn't start a fire." Your words.
THAT'S what I was referring to. Your malicious, unsubstantiated, made up, BS statement. Pick any word you like for it, they all apply.
Understand, now? 
Also, on the contrary, I'm hearing all of the music and more.
Now I shall try to follow uber's advice and ignore you.
I have a nice 65" Sony tv (not oled) that has a very nice picture. Since I placed a mat on the panel door about a week ago, I noticed an enhancement in picture quality, specifically football games (American football, uber!) Wasn't even thinking about it when I noticed a finer detail of the grass. Then the dimensionality of uniform numbers, facial complexions etc... It's like the mat cleaned up the signal "fuzz". Was watching my favorite show "How It's Made" earlier, and it looked practically 3 dimensional. Well done Tim and Krissy, well done! On real footy, Go Man United!!
I have as a 'chores' vehicle a 2000 Tundra in pristine condition (southern truck, never seen salted roads). Stereo, not so pristine. Replaced the stereo with nothing high end, a Sony double din with a built in 45 watt amp, driving Morel component speakers in front and Morel coax in back. Sounded pretty darn good for around $500 total. Well, I placed a couple e-cards in the cup holder below the head unit. Took a couple of days, but the music is now cleaner, with more detail coming through, and- for lack of a better phrase- it hangs in the air better. It's more immersive...
If you haven't tried them in your vehicle, give it a go. If you don't have any yet, order a couple. These little guys really deliver!
Hi, darrell. I had mine on top of the speaker cables amp side.
When was the last time you ordered from a company and with the order they sent along free 'bonus' goodies??! For me, only PPT. Speaks volumes about the company and the generosity of Tim and Krissy...
Alright. Doing a little test. Took the Omega E+ mats out and away from the system night before last. Giving it until tomorrow night to lose any residual effects from them, then will have a listening session to see if I can hear a difference. Will report back with results. Should be interesting...
Actually, my stereo sounded quite good, now it sounds better, no joking. And I was the biggest naysayer of them all if you go way back to the TC thread. And I don’t mean skeptical, I mean I was a jerk about it, speaking from a position of ignorance since I never tried any product. If you put the mats on your breaker box, it somehow ’cleans’ up the power, like a whole house conditioner. I’m not touting earth shattering for me personally, but a definite and undeniably positive effect, on my tv picture also. I definitively understand the skepticism, but the PPT products really do work, and they come with a 90 day return policy.
Hi, bdp24. The price of the new +mat is the same as the price of the original mat when it first came out. They halved the price of the original mat upon the debut of the +mat.
Oh, good! Jay's back to tell us all again that he knows what we're hearing better than we do....
Hi viber6. Yes, my point is the mats do something other than shield/absorb emi. What specifically, I don't know, but I am enjoying the heck out of it!
@atdavid, I doubt there is a person posting on here that doesn’t know about rfi/emi shielding and absorption products and how they work. Once again the Audio Savior arrives to enlighten the ignorant masses! What pompous, presumptuous nerve. I have personally purchased and used rfi/emi shielding sheets, covering the spectrum of frequencies and placed them both inside and outside my gear. I heard zero appreciable difference. The Omega Mats and now Omega + Mats are in an entirely different league. They do indeed work as stated. But of course, you wouldn’t know that would you? You have neither heard nor tried them, yet you’re spending your time doing your best to disparage a product with which you have zero experience. Can’t wait for you to start telling everyone we’re all fooling ourselves about what we hear. That is next, isn’t it??


Actually geoff the Star Trek deflector shields work by creating an active shield of magneto-plasma. It’s an electromagnetic shield that forms a plasma shell that when hit by a photonic weapon, curves the particles away either up or down, depending on the charge. I believe that is called the Lorentz Force. Ha! I knew those mail order physics classes would come in handy one day....
Well, that was just a matter of time. See that, uber? atdavid knows better than you about what your own refrigerator is doing.......and, he knows better than us what are electric bills are doing! Same tired schtick, different thread. I believe his main problem is he talks in absolutes while having zero experience about what he talks about. Some people would call that ignorance.
If you recall the TC thread in the early stages, I was a nay saying jerk. I too found that impossible to believe, as well as electric bill reduction, better tv picture, etc. I demanded scientific explanation, lab work data, proof! Because, by God without it, there was no way it worked as claimed.
Until I actually tried it and found that it does indeed work. Refrigerator not withstanding as I did not experience this. But better sound from my system-check. Decreased electric bill-check. Not earth shattering, but I’ll take any savings. Better tv picture-check. Better sound from my truck stereo from the Alpha cards-check. Going to TC my battery connections next. Can’t hurt!
t_ramey, does your wife have a long lost sister? Because I think I married her.....
I knew it, uber! You were swayed into thinking there were frozen chunks in your orange juice this morning! I cannot believe you thought they actually existed....
"....also eminently arrogant and that impacted his ability to learn."
Interesting choice of words.
He was one of the greatest scientific minds and inventors the world has ever known. Period. Indisputable. To call him merely a 'tinkerer' is asinine.
I do believe discussing the inner workings of a completely different product than the subject of this thread is way off topic. If it is that important for anyone to discuss the intricacies of the other product I suggest you start a separate thread.
Days ago, I removed the Omega + mats from my breaker box and Alpha cards from my speaker cables. I waited two days and had a listening session. I listened to Joan Jett and then Spyro Gyra on CD. Sounded just fine. Clear, detailed, quite enjoyable. Joan was rockin' at her 80's best, and Spyro Gyra was smooth as a gravy sandwich. I must say my system is treated with TC which helped enhance that enjoyment (obviously did not remove that). I placed the Omega + mats back on the breaker box and Alpha cards back on the amp side speaker cables and waited two days. Just played the same cds. Ahhh! There was that 'more' of everything. More detail, more clarity, more 'smooth'. Joan Jett's voice can sound quite melodic when she slows things down. Anyway, just wanted to verify to myself that the + mats were indeed working to improve my listening experience. And for me personally, they do...
Oh, geez geoff. Let me consult all my notes that I didn’t take-
Took the mats out around 5pm on the 20th. Put them in their wrapping and put them in the attic. System is in the basement. Proceeded to have a nice piece of salmon and sauteed Brussels sprouts for supper. Glass of white from local vineyard. Weather was dark as this is New England in November.
At approximately 6:12 and 23 seconds on November 22, I sat down in a tastefully plaid Lazy Boy recliner for a listen. I declined to recline. Stomach contents were steamed shrimp from Super Stop & Shop, glass of white from same bottle as I am a very light and occasional drinker. Session sounded as previously reported. Weather was a bit darker as it was a bit later. Around 10 pm I did a push up, took my Milk of Magnesia and cried myself to sleep.
Morning of the 23rd I replaced mats. Weather had brightened considerably as it was daytime.
3pm on the 25th, Sat down in same tastefully plaid Lazy Boy for listening session. Session sounded as previously described. Stomach contents were a Rollo and a Tootsie Roll midgie as I didn’t want to spoil my supper. Weather was light with scattered dark appearing. All room contents remained as they were.

Already told you went that route and the mats aren't that. And if you want to cover a lot of frequencies, it's a heck of a lot more expensive than $100.
The emi/rfi absorbing sheets did nothing for my system. The Omega + mats have a profound and positive effect.
"So pretty much sounds like an off the shelf EMI absorber sheet..."
THAT is conjecture. And since you have absolutely no idea what the mat is atdavid, you are in absolutely no position to claim what it is or is not. I, on the other hand, speak from a position of experience. I have tried BOTH emi absorbing sheets and the Omega+ mats. I have first hand knowledge of what both do. Tell us, do you? Oh, that’s right. You have no clue. You are speaking from a position of complete ignorance when it comes to experience with this product. Yet, you somehow feel you know more than I do about it. What a joke. So yeah, I don’t have to know what the mat is to draw my accurate conclusion. I just have to know what it isn’t.

So, now you know how many emi absorbing sheets I used??! Are you psychic as well as an expert on a product with which you have no experience? I’m sorry, can you tell us again what experience you have with the product? I must say, when you get your a** handed to you, your responses sure are weak....
Direct quote from my post made on 11/23/19-
Thecarpathian-
"I have personally purchased and used rfi/emi shielding SHEETS, covering the spectrum of frequencies and placed THEM both inside and outside my gear."
So, wrong again!
And I stated I heard no appreciable difference. Terribly sorry I don't have the exact frequency coverage for you. I didn't know there was going to be a test. See, personal, physical experience. I'll type it slower this time....
I speak from a position of experience. You speak from a position of complete ignorance. Honestly, quit while you're behind. It's embarrassing.....
atdavid, you posted  a statement to me where I proved you 100%  unequivocally wrong. But instead of just admitting it, and saying something like- "Oh, my bad. I stand corrected," which might have garnered you a scintilla of respect around here, you chose to erase your post instead of admit you were wrong. Say, didn't you tell geoffkait in another thread that the difference between the two of you is you'll admit when you're wrong?? So, there goes that. By the way, if I'm wrong about that, I'll actually admit it....
atdavid, thanks, I made a mistake. I bought and used 3M rfi/emi ABSORBING sheets, not shielding sheets. I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing out my error and strengthening my position of experience as opposed to your complete and total inexperience with the Omega+ mat. See how easy it is to admit you’re wrong?? You should try it sometime...
atdavid, by the way, I researched both shielding and absorbing sheets, learning how they work before ordering the absorbing sheets. So, your conjecture about what I know and do not know is-wait for it-wrong again!
Gonna erase that post also? And before you proceed to drone on about how now I'm simply changing my story, wrong. I am clarifying my mistake on using the wrong word. Then again, I don't expect, neither do I care, that you believe me.
atdavid, I have already clarified that I mistakenly called it shielding when I did in fact purchase absorbing mats. And I said shielding twice because I direct quoted from my mistake. That is my mistake. I used the wrong word. If you insist on not believing me, I cannot help that. I reiterate, I have experience with 3M emi absorbing sheets both inside and outside my gear, as well as the Omega + mat. The emi absorbing sheets made no appreciable difference. The Omega + mat certainly did. Personal experience. Fact. Not conjecture. Debating you is like riding a train with square wheels. You have never seen an Omega + mat. You have never used one. You have never heard what one can do. You have never experienced it's effects. Yet you continue to disparage. You continue to play the expert. Coming from a position of complete and utter ignorance of the product you continue on. I am on this thread to offer my real world experience with the Omega + mat, no longer to have a snarkfest with someone who has none. This is not what I want to be about.  Why are you here? Straight up, everyone would like to know-
Why are you here?

Happy Thanksgiving Frank!
Happy Thanksgiving uber, and everyone on here.
Enjoy your holiday....

There. No too hard is it. 
The owner of the company has been made aware of the omission since the new site went up and I believe is resolving the issue. All one has to do is call the number and talk to a real person for return policy verification.
Ah! Thank you, glupson. I  mistakenly omitted a couple key words as to what I was stating.
I have since modified it to say exactly what I meant. And you really shouldn’t piece together partial quotes to misconstrue their meaning. You are better than that....Hope all is well with you.
Those little alpha cards (mini Omega's) are really doing their thing in my truck. Put in a Narada Smooth Jazz double CD ( one at a time, of course) various artists, and the clarity and separation of instruments is something I didn’t think these Morel’s could accomplish. Pretty cool....
