Probably best if you broach that subject with Tim directly GK don't you think...…..
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.

Just a quick update on The Gate in my system... Day 4 after installation: The noise floor has dropped again which now reveals more micro dynamics. I didn’t think this was possible since I had already treated my system with Total Contact and installed dozens of Stop It A/C plugs in my house. But, somehow more detail is being revealed in the music. Amazing! The biggest thing I heard yesterday, on day 4, was the holographic imaging changing. There not only seems to be a better defined space and localization for the instruments (guitars are most impressive) and lead vocals, but there even seems to be a three dimensional presentation of the lead vocal and acoustic instruments such as acoustic guitars, etc. They have a depth and realism that actually make me “see” the three dimensional source of the sound coming from between my speakers...not just the strings on the guitar, but the body of the guitar; not just the mouth of the singer, but the entire head and shoulders, front to back, of the vocalist. I usually end up listening to music with my eyes closed but I really enjoy opening my eyes and sort of “seeing” the source of the sound in space. In three demensions. Crazy, huh? I will post more comments as the days of break-in progress on The Gate. Also, many thanks to Tim at Perfect Path Technologies, as well as others, especially Frank/Oregonpapa, who have posted here. The PPT products have changed this hobby for me forever! |
Yo mrs_ppt, happened to notice this link and I am very intrigued about the gate. I am at work and will call tim to ask some questions when caught up this weekend, but i have a few questions i hope you can answer when you have time. My stereo system has 3 20A dedicated lines, one for each JL Audio F113 sub and other for main system. The unused plug-in from stereo outlet has a Nordost Qv2, Qk1 and a ifi ac purifier plugged into it. I have 5 bybee quantum signal enhancers under cables and such and 2 of new v2 enhancers on speakers. There is a 4 box stein music system with harmonizers. Also 2 Nordost qx4s purifiers. I am totally turned on by my system, but by either turning off the stein system, the qx4s or remove the bybee units will cause music to collapse and lose that ability to seem alive. What issues do you foresee? What may need to come out, ect. I am a 67 year old rocker and my stereo, thru tweaking connects with me to such a degree a rarely ever sit down so I am skeptical there is room for improvement, BUT that is same thing I thought before the stein music system and the qx4s. So wrong i was. thanks for any feedback |
gcdrum ... Nice review. Last night I was listening to Duke Ellington's "Blues in Orbit" CD. The three-dimensional presentation you described was there in spades. The Gate is a phenomenal addition to a serious stereo system. When you get around to it, put a couple of Omega E Mats in the circuit breaker box. That will further enhance the effects. Here's the CD: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ellington-Duke-Blues-in-Orbit-CD/173454213762?epid=30805141&hash=item2862ad4282:g:8WkAAOxyrM5TGBrs marc777 ... Remember ... there's a 90 day, money back return policy on The Gate if you're not satisfied with the results. To date, I don't believe that anyone has returned one. Frank |
