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.

Hi grannyring: I'm curious. Do you have the "Gate" installed at or near your breaker box?
+1 Frank. When Tim told me that the electric bill would decrease after a couple of months, and that I would have to turn up the thermostat in the refrigerator I thought it was just sales hype. I was wrong.
+1 ricevs. Your post speaks volumes to me, as I consider you a master tweaker.
Hi jafreeman: Do you have two Omega+ mats stacked on top of each other,  or do you have one on top and one underneath your CDP?
Hi slaw: My personal experience with other tweaks and Perfect Path Tech products has been that the Bybee video enhancers and Bybee iQSE are no go, however, the Bybee Quantum purifiers are sympatico (I have those installed in the AC of my CD player and distribution box). High Fidelity MC-0.5 are out as well as the Nordost QV2s. The  Add Powr Electraglides are, however, very compatible (designed by Bill who designed the Nordost stuff). Welcome to the PPT experience. I was a skeptic for quite a while myself.
+1 tommylion. Welcome darellczay! Upon removing the High Fidelity MC-0.5s from my system the was a slight improvement in the sound ( a more open, less "dull" presentation). The improvement continued for the next 3-4 days as the MC-0.5s leave a residual magnetic effect in house wiring.
Hi Frank: I'm curious as to how you attached the mats to your speakers (tape, Velcro?).
Hi slaw: The magnetic effect of the MC 0.5s will take 3 or 4 days to completely to away. I sold mine (7 of them ) and bought PPT products with the money instead.    Hi sbayne: I completely agree with your last post!
Hi  ozzy: I have an Omega E mat underneath my universal player and two E cards mounted internally (using Velcro) in the power supply section. These two E cards replaced an Audio magic Pulse Gen ZX that was in there. 
Hi rpw: I placed mine on the rear of the cabinets just above the binding posts where the crossover resides. 
Hi Steve: Welcome to the Perfect Path Tech experience! In the beginning , I was skeptical of these products having been a tweaker for many years. All of these accessories are the real deal, with the Gate being by far the most dramatic (as well as the most expensive). Like you said "as funds allow" has been my approach, and it's really been fun! There really is no downside to these products. I know that I'm coming off as a shill for Perfect  Path, but the proof is in the listening. Good listening. Jeff
Hi Steve: Same here.  The yogurt kept freezing! Your system looks (and I'm sure sounds) fantastic. Nicely done.
Ron at Marigo Audio also makes some of the world's finest vibration control devices (shelves and footers).
