A patent can add marketing value to a product as a small company is approached by a larger in a possible buyout or merger. Clearly a patent can spell out the contents of a product but not always how those materials blend together or fit and finish together. What size particle out of a stated particle size range? What ratio of what material? When to add when to blend? What cryo gas and or temperature exposure range and how many times. Tim knew..a copycat can spend much time and many $ and still come up short. Some inneractions within materials cannot be seen in minutes or hours nor can they be heard or recognized in that same time frame. Tom
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Many of you own or have read of the highly-regarded PPT Omega E Mat, one of Tim Mrock’s revolutionary signal-enhancing accessories. Just prior to his untimely passing, Tim had finished developing a new generation of his Omega mat, soon to be available. Krissy Mrock has asked a few of us to introduce this new mat, here given the working title of The Double Omega.
In distinguishing the Double Omega, we know the original Omega, herein called the single, as a 7.5” by 10”, rather heavy and somewhat pliable mat, a bit more than 1/8” thick and with a vinyl-like feel. One face is glossy white, displaying the PPT logo and Omega name, while the other is black, smooth and magnetized. Sandwiched between these faces is the active material that causes components to reject the EMI that saturates everything in our surroundings. The Double Omega is much the same, with one important difference: the magnetized face has the finely-textured feel of around, say, 220-grit sandpaper. This texture, it is presumed, comprises yet a second active layer of EMI rejection. Presumed—because working details of the Double Omega are not well understood—better yet to know how to apply it.
With the understanding that the single Omega E mats generate field effects from both faces, mats have typically been placed under and over components and vertically over circuit breakers. How you apply the Double Omega will depend on best use and experimentation. In my case, I have removed two single mats, lying side-by-side, from the top of my large Wadia CDP and have replaced those with two Double Omegas. The Wadia is a one-box player that contains a pre-amp, so I wanted that second, strong field effect exerting downward as well as upward. I also have several singles placed underneath, just as before. Going straight to amps, this player is my only source, so I want it fully protected from EMI. Your priorities will differ.
As of this writing, I am only thirty-hours in on placing these Double Omegas, and I can already tell you they are powerful in their prevention of EMI within my digital source. Yet another veil has been lifted—all instruments and voices are even more sorted out in the aural space with new information heard within that space. There is much more decay heard against a new silence behind and between the musicians. I am already so pleased and excited about what the Double Omega E mats are doing. As Krissy told me, Tim was really stoked to have these new mats available. Rather than wait for the the fourteen-day window of improvement, I want to get this intro out so others can relay their experiences sooner.

theaudiotweak ... I talked with Tim about this over a year ago. He had the formula down pat. He said: "Just let the copycats have their sway. They will never figure out my formula for the emulsifier, and that is the key." Just a little tidbit for Gulpson and Geoff to chew on. :-) Frank |
One can’t help wondering whether or not the US Patent Office tests these weird audiophile devices. Or do they just rake in the cash no matter what kind of quantum mumbo jumbo the applicant writes down? Do they have audiophiles on staff? I seems unlikely the US Patent Office would approve a patent for something that doesn’t work. But maybe they do, how the hell would I know? I guess you just don’t want to say it’s a perpetual motion machine. 😛 |
It certainly wouldn’t be the first time audiophile devices made the refrigerator or freezer run better. To whit, PWB Electronics devices like White SpiraTube, no it’s not named after Spiro Agnew!, and Cream Electret, Red X Pen, etc. Also those tiny little bowl resonators, you know, the ones that operate at acoustic frequencies AND RF frequencies, contact enhancer for the power plug, and Flying Saucers for unused outlets, to name a few. |
"It’s a lose lose situation. The Chinese or the Russkies will copy it and produce it. Your patent does no good over there." GK Could there be a tech scout sniffing around here, intending to pirate some ideas to sell, patents be damned? Regarding EMI, perhaps I have simply offered up a red herring to throw you off. Frank and I started this thread to announce good news---clear sailing, smooth roads and better sound ahead. Many have jumped on to enjoy the PPT ride, a few are just trying to shoot the tires out. That’s the way these threads go. All in all, I’m not too displeased, though. How about a George Carlin skit for perspective? Just for fun, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIkqNiBASfI Most of all, enjoy your music! |
