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.

jetter, This post was a pure advertisement. It even states that. Given it is an advertisement, the discussions of price, whether it works, whether it can work, etc. are all reasonable. No, Audiogon is just like every other forum, no more or no less respectful, and given that some posters have not been moderated out of existence, I would say less respectful as it is almost impossible to have a discussion here without it becoming a bunch of ad-homs. One of my favourite forums (non-audio) has a simple rule. Attack the post, not the poster. I suggest people stick to that, and maybe, just maybe this would be the respectful utopia you want it to be. |

Is a legitimate business defined as one not breaking any laws? What about advertising laws? ... There appears, based on Glupson's search, to be no "patented perfect path effect". Beyond words on paper, there is no substantiated "Double the power". "Warmth" in audio is almost exclusively recognized as a bias towards low frequencies / de-emphasis of high frequencies. Does this product act as a tone control or otherwise attenuate high frequency content and/or increase low frequency content? If so, should be easy to validate that. I won't comment on what moderators do or do not do, but their perception is just one perception. At least 2 people, I expect more see the OP as nothing more than an advertisement. |
From dictionary.com. Only the very last one, even slightly could apply in this case, however, I have never seen anyone use the term "patented" to mean anything but the noun/adjective versions below, and in fact, "Under current U.S. Patent law, anyone can file a lawsuit against a manufacturer that has falsely marked their product as patented with an intent to deceive the public." https://ocpatentlawyer.com/penalty-for-false-patent-marking/ The use here is clearly misleading. noun: patent
adjective pa·tent
thecarpathian766 posts11-29-2019 2:30pmatdavid, Wow. I am really, REALLY starting to question your comprehension skills. If you would re-read the meaning of the 'adjective patented' as opposed to the meaning of the 'noun patented' it makes your point meaningless. I guess it was a little too hard for you after all.... |
There appears to be no "P A T E N D E D perfect path method". There is a patent on the contact fluid. There is not evidence found so far of any other patent. Patents are not "secret". There. Not too hard is it? thecarpathian764 posts11-29-2019 1:50pmAdjective |
W.R.T. me having an "unenviable" reputation: I have received
several personal messages thanking me for "speaking out", telling me
"don't let yourself be bullied", and warning me about certain people
here. As well, often people agree with my posts. The only people I seem
to have an "unenviable" reputation with, are people accustomed to not
having someone who is willing to speak up and speak out. Ultimately it
is a small but loud and active group. A person who respected this hobby and other people, I think, would respond to the patent statement along the lines of "Yes, they should identify the patent or remove it from their literature." That would be the reasonable thing to do. If someone who doesn't think that thinks I have an "unenviable reputation", then they need some self reflection. thecarpathian771 posts11-29-2019 4:40pm Because in these threads on this forum in a very short time, you have a very unenviable reputation. |
thecarpathian, You don't use the term "patented" w.r.t. a product unless it is actually patented. Why don't you do that? Because it is illegal. If there is no actual patent that applies to the Omega Mat, then it is illegal to say that it uses "patented" anything, as that is misleading as any normal person would assume that means a real patent. The reason for the law is for just these cases. Words have context, and in this context, I don't know anyone that would assume they mean "theirs" as opposed to the legal meaning of patent, because people are normally very careful w.r.t. misrepresentation. |
The only one grasping at straws carpathian is you. No one without an agenda would claim that statement is to mean anything but "patent" in the intellectual properly sense of the word. glupson bringing this up is not a cheap shot, it is a proper discussion point w.r.t. a company you may deal with. You are virtually the only person on this thread who has taken the tact "it is just and adjective". I can only assume everyone else assumed the patent was real. With regards to the Omega Mat specifically, I and glupson have actually tried to have a discussion on what they do, which is key to using them to their full potential. As glupson has pointed out, neither he (nor I) have denigrated anything. Other than glupson raising the issue w.r.t. patent and me pointing out some basic physics w.r.t. metal enclosures, energy draw in your house and refrigeration, we have not made any negative comments w.r.t. the product itself. If the lack of any details on what they do (not how), and noting a questionable patent claim, as well as claims that violate basic things like conservation of energy is "denigration", then I don't know what to say. thecarpathian771 posts11-29-2019 4:40pmatdavid, honestly man, let it go. Quit grasping at straws, swallow your bitter pill and let it go. Your intent on this thread is to denigrate and derail. Really not something of which to be proud. You're not here to learn. You're not here to be enlightened. You have no interest in these fine products. You're here to tell us we're liars. That our claims are false. To take a cheap shot at this company any way you can. You don't use those words, but your posts say exactly that. I truly hope 'in real life' you're a better person than this. |
Arguably in today's parlance, virtual photons. Time to update your QM knowledge. It's all theoretical at this point anyway. geoffkait18,729 posts12-05-2019 4:33pm |
