Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat


I’m curious about this product from Perfect Path Technologies and would like to hear from those that have experience with it. I’ve bought and used the Total Contact enhancer and like what it does for my system so I’m interested in hearing how this Omega E mat performs.

I’m pretty sure AMG56 is not really a candidate for this sort of thing. He’s just showing off that he’s too smart to be taken in by outrageous tweaks.
amg56 - we’ve been over all this before. Don’t you remember? The clock starts ticking when you get the product, not when it’s shipped. Everybody and his brother knows that. And you should get results right away, from what customers say, you don’t have to wait 8 weeks. Eat more fish, that way you won’t have to ask the same question over and over again.
amg54, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but I’m filing that long screed of yours under Whatever. 


No problemo. It’s like applying the stuff to tube pins ... It’s not for everyone. There is some risk of shorting. On the other hand, no goats, no glory. 🐐 🐐

Helpful hint to anyone trying it, don’t load up on coffee prior to. 😬
The teeny tiny little brush on the applicator works for me. But it depends on what the connector looks like as to whether there’s any risk. For Audioquest Carbon HDMI connector there is no risk of creating a short inside the connector. A tooth pick proved futile, as fate would have it.
So, can you tell us a little more, you know, maybe try to describe the sound now compared to how it was before you treated everything? Go into as much detail as you can.
That’s not really what I had in mind. 😢 Where’s the enthusiasm? Come on, pretend you’re a big reviewer. Put your back into it. Don’t be shy. Spice it up a little. Go crazy.
I bought from Sweet Maria’s a long time ago. The issue I have with them compared to Blue Macaw and other on eBay sellers is they kill you on shipping. Example: I can get two count em! pounds of Kenya AA with *free shipping* from Blue Macaw for $22. And it’s fresh! Cannot beat with stick!
Innocent question. If the mat is placed under the CD player for two weeks as suggested but no music is played until *after* the two week period has elapsed will improvements be heard when first playing music?
Whoa! Thousand Oaks had some really bad things happen there recently. Absolutely horrible.
Best sales pitch of the week goes to......

”verisimilitude of you sound.” You don’t say?
You read my mind. 😳

Everything is relative. Most audiophiles cannot escape and get up out of the noise floor. Many don’t even try. You have done well, grasshopper. But there is a long way to go. As I opined somewhere recently many are searching for that last 7% so they can finally relax and listen to the music. 🤗

An ordinary man has no means of deliverance.
Yes, it is all about the tweaks not the gear. Where in blazes were you guys twenty years ago? You act like this is something new. Well, it’s not. You get all psyched up over one or two things. Then you stop. Talking, not walking.
Whoa, Mamma! A final solution for all? Ah, the old Steve Jobs strategy. You could also say it’s the Michael Green strategy. The absolute sound. Lol. No offense to anyone.
Whew!! That was a close call. For a second there I thought you were going to say Heaven’s Gate. 😬
Give me a break, you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. I have a different word than naive. You’re the one hurling the insults. Go jump in a lake.
These are all pseudo arguments. It wouldn’t be too much trouble to take almost any device apart or cut it open and submit it to a scanning electron microscope if that’s any help. Problem solved. But not everything in this hobby is so easily figured out. That’s why it’s sometimes a good idea to skip the whole patent process entirely and hope for the best. Besides tweaks these days is a very iffy business, moreso than ever, so chances are excellent the tweak entrepreneur will not ever get his money back he spent on the patent. In case you haven’t noticed most audiophiles who actually give a rat’s behind about tweaks are old timers, many in their 70s and 80s. How big a market can there be? 😬
So, here’s a question. I had to change the batteries in my Walkman cassette player and in order to do that I had to take off the Omega E Mat temporarily. Does that mean I destroyed the field the mat establishes on the player or whatever? It seems much better this morning, lots of air, and, yes, I remembered to use the Graphene contact enhancer on the battery terminals.
Oh, geez. You mean I didn’t mention I’ve been using the stuff on batteries for a year? Ooops! My bad.
I hate to judge before all the facts are in but there appears to be a very thin line between deep rooted skepticism and just being a scamp.
Damage Control! Damage Control! Kame-Kazi attack! Sailors man your stations!!
Looks like we got us a live one on the hook. Let’s see if we can convert him! Put your backs into it, boys!

Any product supported by Geoff Kait should tell you all you need to know. 😉

Wow! Schubert, you must know a heck of a lot of Americans. Or do you have ESP?  😳
Well, if you want to get into it, I strongly suggest you read all about magnets and colors and sound in the link at the bottom of this post. In my humble opinion bringing atomic physics or spintronics into the discussion can serve no porpoise. 🐬 I’m probably the only one on this thread schooled in atomic physics. As a point of reference I’ve been using magnets in audio systems - as well as some of my products - for more than twenty years.

Magnets 🧲 are tricky, though. Magnetic things are generally not (rpt not) good for the sound. Which is why you don’t see too many steel chassis anymore. Or magnetic screws or connectors, for that matter. And why treating the circuit breaker box panel is important. Magnetic fields are usually things to be scrupulously avoided. Magnets are like pills, some make you tall, some make you small, the ones that Mommy gives you don’t do anything at all. As for colors, they’re electromagnetic, no? So colors 🌹 and magnets 🧲 kind of go hand in hand. 🤚

“There’s a lot we don’t know, especially at the quantum level.”

Who said anything about the quantum level? Are you keeping some secret quantum information from the group? 🤫

You don’t know what you don’t know.

It’s getting to be so there’s no demarcation line between classical physics and quantum physics.

There is a difference between quantum mechanics and nanotechnology. The CD laser is quantum mechanics. The CD itself is nanotechnology.

Einstein never got on board the quantum mechanics train 🚂 so no harm in either rejecting it.

I’m not sure what the right thread would be for a discussion of spintronics.

“If I could explain it to the average Joe they wouldn’t have given me the Nobel prize.”
stevecham - I’m pretty sure you’ll find the following paragraph of interest. Yes, PWB in Leeds is of some concern. 😛

“While the term radiometer can refer to any device that measures electromagnetic radiation (e.g. light), the term is often used to refer specifically to a Crookes radiometer ("light-mill"), a device invented in 1873 in which a rotor (having vanes which are dark on one side, and light on the other) in a partial vacuum spins when exposed to light. A common belief (one originally held even by Crookes) is that the momentum of the absorbed light on the black faces makes the radiometer operate. If this were true however, the radiometer would spin away from the non-black faces, since the photons bouncing off those faces impart more momentum than the photons absorbed on the black faces. Photons do exert radiation pressure on the faces, but those forces are dwarfed by other effects. The currently accepted explanation depends on having just the right degree of vacuum, and relates to the transfer of heat rather than the direct effect of photons. [2][3]

Also, If photons had mass they couldn’t travel at the speed of light.


You might be laughing but not about the mass of photons, I reckon. He who laughs last laughs best. 😆
Yeah, the Big Bang. Ha ha! That expansion period lasted for what, a pico second? Sorry, that’s not a very good example. All mass in the current universe, the one that counts, is subject to the Einstein Lorentz equations. Current physics doesn’t apply to the Big Bang expansion.
The Big Bang “expansion”, when things are undefined, lasted about 10 to the minus 30 seconds. The entire Big Bang took about a billionth of a second. If photons had mass don’t you think the military would have photon weapons that operate by mass at light Speed? They do have laser weapons but those operate via high heat not mass. Hel-loo!

Big Bang timeline
Inflation and baryogenesis

The earliest phases of the Big Bang are subject to much speculation. In the most common models the universe was filled homogeneously and isotropically with a very high energy density and huge temperatures and pressures and was very rapidly expanding and cooling. Approximately 10−37 seconds into the expansion, a phase transition caused a cosmic inflation, during which the universe grew exponentially during which time density fluctuationsthat occurred because of the uncertainty principle were amplified into the seeds that would later form the large-scale structure of the universe.[25] After inflation stopped, reheating occurred until the universe obtained the temperatures required for the production of a quark–gluon plasma as well as all other elementary particles.[26] Temperatures were so high that the random motions of particles were at relativistic speeds, and particle–antiparticle pairs of all kinds were being continuously created and destroyed in collisions.[7] At some point, an unknown reaction called baryogenesis violated the conservation of baryon number, leading to a very small excess of quarks and leptons over antiquarks and antileptons—of the order of one part in 30 million. This resulted in the predominance of matter over antimatter in the present universe.[27]

CoolingPanoramic view of the entire near-infrared sky reveals the distribution of galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Galaxies are color-coded by redshift.

The universe continued to decrease in density and fall in temperature, hence the typical energy of each particle was decreasing. Symmetry breaking phase transitions put the fundamental forces of physics and the parameters of elementary particles into their present form.[28] After about 10−11 seconds, the picture becomes less speculative, since particle energies drop to values that can be attained in particle accelerators. At about 10−6 seconds, quarks and gluons combined to form baryons such as protons and neutrons. The small excess of quarks over antiquarks led to a small excess of baryons over antibaryons. The temperature was now no longer high enough to create new proton–antiproton pairs (similarly for neutrons–antineutrons), so a mass annihilation immediately followed, leaving just one in 1010 of the original protons and neutrons, and none of their antiparticles. A similar process happened at about 1 second for electrons and positrons. After these annihilations, the remaining protons, neutrons and electrons were no longer moving relativistically and the energy density of the universe was dominated by photons (with a minor contribution from neutrinos).

All the more to put in your mouth i guess?

😁😁

No, more like another foot to kick your lame rear end with. 😬 One assumes, judging from your repeated dull reactions, they don’t teach humor in UK. Or much of anything else, for that matter. 😃
yoby283 posts01-24-2019 4:47amHi tuffy72651: I'm a little confused about the TC. My understanding is that once it's applied, it basically lasts indefinitely until you remove it. You said "When I first got here I connected my system with the original TC on all my connections but the sound after a few weeks never got anywhere  close to how it had sounded before the move". Someone please explain.

>>>>Too many variables. For example, you could be located over a subway or next door to a broadcast station. There’s a lot more to audio than just plugging a bunch of stuff in the wall and crossing your fingers. 🤞
tuffy72561
My understanding is that you can break TC connections once or maybe twice during the first 30 days of the curing process without much degradation.. My system had already gone at least 90 days since the initial application of TC by the time of disassembly right before the move.

Upon reapplying the TC the sound within a few days was already a lot better than it had been before reapplication. I’m at day 43 now since the reapplication and the sound quality is progressing nicely towards where it was before the move.

>>>>Not sure why you would think your new abode would sound just like your old abode, most likely an entirely new set of variables in terms of room acoustics, RFI/EMI, seismic vibration, House AC wiring, local power company or transformer, perhaps others...perhaps others beyond scope of the discussion.
Yikes! Jitter is firing on all cylinders today. Did somebody spike his orange juice?
