Hi Steve: Welcome to the Perfect Path Tech experience! In the beginning , I was skeptical of these products having been a tweaker for many years. All of these accessories are the real deal, with the Gate being by far the most dramatic (as well as the most expensive). Like you said "as funds allow" has been my approach, and it's really been fun! There really is no downside to these products. I know that I'm coming off as a shill for Perfect Path, but the proof is in the listening. Good listening. Jeff
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.

ivan_nosnibor Or else, they seem to work for maybe everything but RF. But, if I’m having RF problems, then I haven’t identified them with my ears yet. >>>>>>How can you know you’re having RF problems by the sound? What does RF interference sound like? ivan_nosnibor But, the home environment is not a vacuum. RF can be reflected or blocked, can it not?? >>>>>The home environment is not a vacuum but it’s almost a vacuum. RF travels at almost the speed of light in air and at a very high percentage of the speed of light in solid materials like glass, wire, insulator. The reason I mentioned that RF travels at the speed of light in a vacuum was part of my teaser, what is RF? What is the only particle that always travels at lightspeed in a vacuum? RF can enter unused wall outlets, openings in electronics like unused RCA plugs. RF can be reflected and is ultimately absorbed by room surfaces, but we are under a continuous barrage of RF, even from microchips and house AC. RF constantly illuminates the entire room like a Christmas tree🎄 |
If I were RF I would just do an “end run” around your quartz crystal. Have you considered that the (strong) piezoelectric effect of quartz is acting as a resonance controller as opposed to an RF absorber or blocker? RF has no charge and no mass so how can a crystal absorb it or block it. RF would flow around 🔄 the quartz crystal. An end run. Quartz is not a Bounty Towel for RF. |
I know... You say that to me before...And I apologize for my stubbornness.... I am no scientist, but I cannot understand my experiments with only this piezo effect, there is none with the shungite or lava beads, because they are not a crystal, then the piezo effect cannot by itself explain all this phenomenon ( the change in sound quality corresponding to each kind of minerals with his own qualities) with not only crystals but other minerals non crystalline... However shungite not being a crystal, like lava beads also for example, work nevertheless in the same manner like a crystal modifying the sound on all my stones grid, on the S. G. and even on the amplifier , but with less desirable sound effect on the amp tough, because too much powerful, like lava beads...If it is piezo effect only, when I place these quartz stick on top of the amplifier, the vibrations being the same than near the tone controls,why dont we hears no audible effect like when they are located near the tone controls aperture? For me it is some filtering effect, not only a piezo effect....But this is only a metaphor to convey my impressions about my experiments.... Thanks Geoffkait for your patience with some bad poet.... :) |
