This thread has been providing nothing but facts about the effects of the Omega + mat by experienced users since its inception. Now, if one is referring to facts pertaining to what mechanisms the Omega + mat employs to function as it does, it has been stated over and over that no one on this thread is privy to that information. Just personal opinion as to how it may function. Asking the same questions over and over is not going to change that fact.
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.

Allowed to know anything? We can’t tell you what we do not know ourselves. I have been nothing but truthful in my assessment of the Omega+ mat. That is all I can do. It is up to the individual whether he or she chooses to believe me or not and pursue further interest. I am now going to enjoy a hot cup of tea and a fine Dutch stroop waffel. I love this time of year! |
atdavid, 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. Because in these threads on this forum in a very short time, you have a very unenviable reputation. |
atdavid- So, since you personally have never seen the word patented used any other way, it can’t possibly mean anything else??! Wow. In the statement Frank quoted they are not saying a product is patented are they? Might want to read the sentence again. It states ’effect’. Is it even possible to patent an effect?? Your definition pertains to a physical patent. Not applicable to the statement. From the Merriam Webster dictionary- Adjective Patent Readily visible or intelligible. OBVIOUS. Let’s use it in a sentence, this may help you out- "It was a patented fact that he was a close minded, arrogant know it all and everywhere he went he was as welcome as a fart in an elevator." |
Hi, Frank. I have a slide out cup holder directly below the head unit and I popped them in there so was pretty easy for me. When I close it they're physically inside the center console. Wish I had the TC back when I installed the stereo. Nobodies fault but my own. Maybe glove compartment is your best bet? Hey uber. Yeah, I put them across my speaker cables amp side. Didn’t get any deeper bass, just a little added smoothness all around. |
viber6 Indeed, to each his own. Even though in my experience I have found the mats to not ’warm up’ the sound, but to convey an aura of ’more’ if that makes sense. I have to say I very much respect the polite, gracious way in which you expressed your concerns and conclusion. Kudos, and happy listening! |
Hey, spenav. Yes, I believe it will with ease depending on what it is and how much you plan on coating. I did the internals of four components, tube pins, as well as all power cord connections, interconnects, and speaker cables. Also pasted the wall duplex when I changed it and the entire inside of the outlet cover and still have a third left over. A very small amount goes a very long way. |
@noromance- From where do you get your information? Is that a fact you are somehow privy to, or is it your opinion? What makes you think the main ingredient of the mat is graphene? Truth is, I’m sure you have no idea where and how the mats are manufactured. Truth is, I’m sure you have no idea what the mats consist of, be it proprietary materials or otherwise. If you feel they are more than you’d like to spend, fine. But to post on this thread pure conjecture on your part and state it as a fact is disrespectful to the distributor (manufacturer) and flat out libelous. |
Hi, rsf507. A legitimate question. These mats do much more than merely shield emi like graphite. A host of materials do that. So, even though I can't say what they are, I can say what they aren't, and that is they are not just a simple emi shield. Personally, I've never tried graphite sheets. But, if you are curious as to their effect, order some up and let us know what you think! |
@glupson, Couldn't resist a parting shot, huh. You know, it was obvious from the get go that you had nothing of substance to add to any conversation in these threads and one wonders why you are even a member of this forum. Still, I thought you were a decent guy who just liked to stir the pot a bit. But you're really not, are you. Your last post was just plain cold hearted and unnecessary. I can't imagine why anyone would want to be that type of person. How sad for you. |
@glupson, Everything you suggested was brought up well before you arrived on the scene. All your posts in that direction-actually ALL your posts-read as nothing more than cheap shots and barbs to rile up those participating in these threads. And now you want to play the misunderstood White Knight. Now you want all to believe your posts were for the greater good of the company. That we’re all too narrow minded and myopic to see the true potential of these products, so you were kind heartedly easing us all in the right direction. Sorry, not buying it. Go back and read your posts and tell me where I’m collectively wrong. The purpose of these threads is to convey our personal experiences with the products. Experiences that branched out beyond audio. It’s not a business analysis thread. I’ve no idea what direction the company was taking its products. Neither do you. If you were so concerned, why did you not personally contact the company and convey your concerns to them, instead of merely helping to feed this "very small forum"? Especially since you could ’see all of this coming’. So, you tell me. What exactly did you do to help at all? |
@marc777 , You might want to look up the meaning of that expression before you use it again. It may save you from a potential punch in the nose. |
Ah, yes. But in the Joe Cocker song, the object of his desire cheats on him and tells him she no longer cares. In essence, telling him to "Cry me a river". Now, she apparently wants him back and he is having none of it. So now in cold hearted revenge, he is telling her to " Cry me a river". Romantic? I don't see it. |
Sorry, marc. No matter what your feelings are, mahgister and I are correct. You are using that term incorrectly, regardless of how you feel about it, or what you mean to convey by it. That expression these days has but one meaning. The meaning as it was pointed out to you. What I find amusing is you don’t see it, so that makes me ’not a romantic’. Actually, it simply makes you wrong.
|
You just refuse to get it, don’t you? This phrase is universally known as was stated by me and mahgister regardless of your perspective. What you’re defending doesn’t even make any sense with regards to your 'perspective'. You didn’t state you were going to cry a river over oregonpapa, you were telling rsf507 to cry you a river. Now, think about what the universal meaning of that phrase is, regardless of how you wish to romanticize it, and the meaning it is conveying when you tell someone else who is informing you of a very nice fellows death, to cry you a river. You are in no uncertain terms telling rsf507 that you could not care less about his death. Again, you are not crying a river, you are telling someone else to do it. Understand now? Or has all the romance you seem to think you have a monopoly on blinding you to your perception of common sense? |
