Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

ipretiring sez:

• Congratulations on your system success, and your retirement from beta testing.

Sorry friend, you misread my post. I was referring to "equipment" upgrades, not experimenting with tweaks. I don't think I'll ever be done with the tweaks. I'm a tweak-o-holic. 

Stay tuned ... there's another product coming down the pike that I'll be beta testing. Supposed to be a real killer. 

• Do you think Tim will refund the $600 if it's cut up into a dozen pieces?
  

I'd say no. But then again, why would anyone want to return any of these mats once installed and the benefits enjoyed? Its not like they won't work. In fact, there's more benefit to be gained from the Omega E Mats than any other way that I can think of.

In a hobby where there are phono cartridges costing $15,000, line stages in excess of $30,000, amps in excess of $100,000 and speakers in excess of $250,000,  $600 for a mat seems paltry.

Even if you were to buy six mats, two for the circuit breaker box and four more for under your various pieces of equipment, you'd be out only $3,600. For that dollar investment, you'd be hard pressed to get anything close to the improvement afforded by the six Omega E Mats.

I applaud your impeccable logic. 😛

I understand the trepidation about cutting the mat into smaller pieces. 
So I'm waiting for someone else to try it first. And who knows maybe once its cut open stuff may ooze out...

My unconditional return guarantee does not  apply if the product is cut or altered. The smaller card should prevent one from cutting up the larger mat. Cutting will alter the performance big time.

First production run of the Alpha E Card is almost done!

 

Let me chime in on this thread....
I have no vested interest, I am not a troll, but let me share my personal observations from listening to Frank's system evolve over the past two years.
I started going to Frank's place around 2 years ago, when he started installing the SR Black fuses, then the Blue fuses, then the contact paste, and now the eMats...
I have to share my independent observations in Frank's room;  with each step, his sound has clearly improved from the previous version...Frank's system is relatively modest; old Legacy speakers, Audio Research 3, or 5 pre, and a AR 75 amp, $300 modded Pioneer elite CD player, and average cables and power. He has some additional room treatments, with speakers pulled out for near field listening.
The detail, resolution, and lowered floor noise is now unbelievably improved....on tracks that I am very familiar, his system now allows me to hear subtle shimmer and decay that is missing from my more expensive and supposedly more resolving rig( Venture speakers, dCS Vivaldi dac, network bridge, dedicated Room Nucleus + core, high end Transparent reference cables, Shunyata power conditioner, 3 dedicated lines, Veloce battery powered pre, dedicated NAS, with router on  linear power supply, Sablon ethernet cables, etc). His sound stage stretches back deep to the wall, and wide, clarity, resolution in spades, and improved bass and dynamics. The mats have clearly brought his systems to achieving almost the ultimate extraction of digital bits possible. Everything that Frank has described, I've heard independently, He is not exaggerating one iota. I know folks have called him a shill, and over hyped a product, but he is only providing audiophiles, like me, an opportunity to enhance their sound experience with relatively modest cost tweaks.
I have placed 6 mats in my rig for only 48 hours now, one in breaker box, one under amp, preamp, DAC, Roon Nucleus and NB, and Directv player. With only 48 hours, my room has improved, lower floor noise, less grunge, deeper bass, and some of my missing shimmer on cymbals and horn and piano notes is now coming into my room. I am looking forward to completing the break in process. I don 't have full pasting on my power cords, and stopped at the SR black level fuses, not blue. I have paid for my tweaks directly, nothing free. I know there are doubters out there...I simply wish to share my experience from listening to Frank's room, and now my own.
Thanks, Frank....enjoy the music
