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.

Easy, there, big fella, remember it’s only a hobby. 🤡 What we need around here is more comedians, not more cheerleaders 📣

My apologies indeed.

After reading again, yes I can see how you intended it to come across.

GK can confuse the issue on any thread.

Hard to get this thread back on track which is The Gate.

All I can say is you would have to pry mine from my cold dead fingers before I gave it up from my system.

I have NO other power conditioning of any kind bar the Gate now.
And the noise floor is LOW......
Nothing turning on like the ac or fridge makes the slightest blip in the music.
And it certainly used to until I purchased an Equicore 1800 which fixed those issues.
However once I installed the Gate I felt the Equicore was now having a slight negative impact so I removed it and have flown with just the Gate ever since.
Actually it’s not that I confuse the issue, it’s that you’re easily confused. See the difference? OK, you can go back to cheerleading. 
@uberwaltz,

No apologies needed bud! I understand your point of view on The Gate. IMO, good power correction / conditioning is not inexpensive. Many of us have found SOTA power solutions from the likes of SR, Shunyata, Audience and Nordost.

Since I have not tried PPT products yet, I am unable comment on how they compare with any of the aforementioned A-List manufacturers. 


I’ve made my opinions on the Gate perfectly clear here many times. The other PPT products seem to work in coordination with The Gate to really supercharge the system.

Once the SR Orange fuses were broken in, I pasted them with PPT’s Total Contact. A little degradation initially as usual, but I’m five days into it now, and all I can say is ... WOW ...!!!

The TC paste has to dry in order for it to perform at it’s best.
