Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

One aspect that has been overlooked is that a mat will affect the component above and below it regardless of shelving according to Tim.  My components are in a vertical rack and I have placed one under my Preamp, magnet side down on the shelf.  Immediatley below this is my PS 10.  My second is magnet side down sitting on top of my Sony Sacd player and below my Meridien 508 which sits on top of the sacd player.  My top shelf  has my turntable.  My VAC monoblocks are on separate floor stands.  This was Tim's suggestion.  I might add he has been very willing to help me find the best starting place for the mats.   I added them a week ago and I have found a a significant improvement in the sound stage in all directions, especially depth.  The timbre of each instrument is more there-the only way I can explain it.  The result in not terribly subtle-my wife with hearing aids noted all of this without prompting.  It's clear from the discussion that the next mat will be in the breaker box.

I have previously tried several Bybee IQSE in my system and I find the E-Mat to be a better product for my audio-visual enjoyment.

Did you try an IQSE inside the breaker panel door?

Concerning the Bybee IQSE:

I tried one inside the circuit breaker box at the same location as the E-Mat.The IQSE certainly did affect the sound. But in my systems the result was too much damping. The sound was less 'alive'. The IQSE seemed to have a greater effect on some aspects of the sound than others aspects. It is less expensive and works well at it's price point. The Tweek Geek was very easy to work with and does sell the IQSE with a 30 day trial. The E-Mat is more expensive and for me does more things right. I am looking forward to how the system sounds and the 4K TV looks  at the 10 day mark with the E-Mat in place.

My wife and I notice more vibrant colors, maybe more 3-D like depth and sharpness on our TVs.  We tried an E-mat on top of our cablebox which sits on mini-ultra stillpoints and is plugged into an SR red duplex.  The results were that we couldn't see a difference.   Maybe we should try the bluray player but I don't want to take away even one E-mat from my audio system.  Just one E-mat on the main breaker panel improved the TV audio (outboard systems) with much deeper/fuller bass and overall improved sound.  

My TV system is also plugged into a Synergistic Red duplex. I am definitely experiencing a very satisfying improved 3-D like picture. I will next be trying an E-Mat on top of the Oppo 203 player and then I will try one on the back side of the Sony 4 K TV itself. 
Four more Mats on the way and so a lot of fun is in store.
it is good to know that the cablebox is not a critical location for a Mat.
