It appears The Gate is hooked up like any circuit breaker--it is piggybacked onto one. It could even be put in an empty breaker and is best placed on a 240V breaker, where it would serve both bus bars---correct me if I'm wrong on this.
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.

Interesting, überwaltz--on the one hand, the Gate outperforms numerous mats, but on the other, it is reassuring the mats can continue to complement in coverage at the same locations throughout. They are still useful for those who have made the investment. Not having the Gate, I finally did some work at my circuit panel by TC painting the bus/breaker connection and wire clamps and then sticking a mat over the entire switch array---incredible results, even though I have ten other mats at the components. You'll just have to enjoy the additive advantages of the PPT family of products to date. |
I am grooving on the E mat I finally put over my breakers--I guess I didn't think I needed one there because I have a big transformer right at the components. And the TC continues to work mojo there and in my new AC cord. The cynics may visit to scoff, but please don't stay long. I may have a song for that.......... https://youtu.be/s-ITL7s6Vyc |
Jay, you’re not reading for comprehension---the OP stated back in April that he did have his master electrician evaluate his Gate--his electrician said it was safe and that he even wanted one for himself, and he had even installed all of the OP's new circuits. I wouldn’t expect much from that little Furman, to be used on a 15A circuit and weighing all of 15 lbs. |
So don't try to sell us on your "extreme peak power demands" comparison, implying great sound all of the time if only we would have bought your little Furman, when the Gate is what delivers great sound all of the time. Really though, you irked me with your offer of RIP, (but be sure to say you don't like the products)---then you drag a personal post about Tim over here to rip into the Gate. As Uberwaltz said, "Show some class". |
