LMAO @ Geoff. :-)
Geoff ... you have to try a set of these things. How many unused RCA jacks do you have in your Walkman?

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.

Geoff ... When bell bottoms were in vogue, I was in my thirties. Now then, ducktail haircuts, zoot suits with single button jackets, stuffed cuffs, draped pants with reet-pleats, and blue suede shoes are another issue. :-) This is what I’m talkin’ ’bout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEm6oDP_6f8 More of the late, great, and most beautiful Dorothy Dandridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE7cJOITm6A&list=RDzE7cJOITm6A&start_radio=1&t=34 Frank |
davidpritchard ... Hi, David ... Take the wall plates off of your sockets where ever your equipment is plugged into and paste the inside of the wall plate cover entirely. Big SQ boost to be had there. Happy listening ... Frank PS: The new "Stop It" (RCA jack dust covers) are really worthwhile too. |
As an old road biker, I've been wondering if any of the graphene technology will be used in the manufacture of bicycle frames and forks. How about cranks, derailers, brake and shift levers? Could we be looking at nine-pound graphene-based road bikes in the future? I wouldn't discount the idea. I've seen 14-pound carbon fiber pro bikes. Don't ask about the price though. Through the roof. Like twelve grand. Frank |
For anyone using PPT's Total Contact ... I can't emphasize enough ... paste the inside of your outlet covers of the outlets you are using to plug your equipment into. Big gains in SQ to have there. Last night we just hit about the four-week bump after pasting the circuit breaker switches. The clarity of the system is really unbelievable at this point. Frank |
sbayne ... The RCA covers have been out for a week or so. $10 each, minimum order ten, with a 90-day return policy. I’m using 22 of them in my system and they are effective. They replaced the Cardas covers I was using prior to the PPT product becoming available. I gave the Cardas covers to a friend for his system. Frank |
^^^ sbayne It is really heartening to see that you're enjoying these products. I find that the higher in resolution my system goes, the better these products perform. It seems to be true of all tweaks ... both in positive and negative results. So far, the PPT products have all had a positive effect. Dramatic, really. My system certainly isn't "mid-fi" by any means. I'd say at this point, to duplicate it, it would cost upwards of 70k plus. It certainly wouldn't compete with the mega-expensive systems we hear at shows as far as price. However, thanks to Tim Mrock and his PPT products, at this point, it is doing things that I have NEVER heard in other systems no matter the price paid. And I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars. The mega-expensive systems play louder, bigger and wider, but I can honestly say that at this point there is a profound clarity coming through my ARC gear and the Legacy Signature III's that must be heard to be believed. This clarity has been attained while preserving the natural tones of instruments and voices. The system is totally seamless at this point. Nothing but the music comes through. No hash. No grain, just music and those performing it. Amazing. Stay tuned, more goodies on the way. :-) Frank |
jkbtn Give the kid a break. Buy a tube of Total Contact, then paste the connections and let the music from that system really come through. You'll have enough left over to paste your main system as well. After you've completed the job, then come back here and tell us again how its all "snake oil." Frank |
In the spirit of cooperation, may I suggest this product? https://www.amazon.com/Debrox-Earwax-Removal-Drops-0-5oz/dp/B088WYBGB8/ref=zg_bs_3779891_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=544BXAMN9VJESKJ99D4M |

Sad to say, but Perfect Path Technologies as we knew it passed away with the passing of our late friend Tim Mrock. Too bad, because the guy was a true genius. Just as a side note, just prior to Tim's passing, he and I were going to set up a room at the Capital Audio Fest. Everything was set. The room was paid for, plane tickets bought, and all of the planning had been done. Tim had planned on using a pair of speakers that he had bought at an estate sale for $165. The idea was to blow everything at the show away with his technology and tweaks. I believe he would have done it too. Tim's untimely death prevented us from carrying out the project. BUT, he sent me two pairs of power cords he had built for my evaluation that he intended to use at the show, with a complete loop of his cords. The other cords, because of the rapid onset of Tim's illness (speaker wires, interconnects, and the rest of the power cords), were never built. I have no idea how he built them, or what was in them. I will say, however, that they were absolutely stunning. They blew away my already excellent power cords in a big way. It was as though I had put a PPT Gate on steroids into the system. I had use of them for three weeks before having to send them back. Quite honestly, it was like pulling out two ribs. RIP >>> Tim Mrock. Frank |

I agree that it would have been a tough act, but once a system is fully tweaked out with the PPT products, there comes a sense of realism that has to be heard to be believed. In all of my years in the hobby, plus going to many shows, and even working showrooms for dealers and distributors, I've never heard anything like it. This is what I and many other A'goner's who invested in Tim's products are experiencing right now. Plus, Tim was coming up with some special products that were never available to any of us. I've already mentioned how great the power cables were, but there was going to be more ... much more. His ideas for room treatments were going to be unveiled at the show. We were going to use MacIntosh's latest integrated amp, all tweaked out with Tim's products. The entire room was going to be treated with specially prepared banners that would have enhanced the sound. The speakers had been totally taken apart and treated with Tim's products and the use of his wire technology that went into the above-described power cables. He sent me photos of the bare speaker cabinets, the drivers, and the wire. Nothing was left untouched. I'm sure that there would have been systems at the show that played bigger, deeper, etc, but I'll say with total confidence that none would have presented the stark realism of what Tim had planned. Bottom line ... I was really looking forward to a great, fun time. RIP Tim Mrock. Frank |
millercarbon ... I wish you could have auditioned the power cords. Tim had compared them to power cords costing upwards of ten thousand dollars a copy, and he blew them away. As soon as I took my first listen, I called Tim and told him that all of the current manufacturers of various SOTA cords had better get back to the drawing board. And that was just with two cords, one used in the CD player and the other in the phono stage. I can only imagine what a complete loop of Tim's cables would have done. Simply amazing. Frank |

No, and that is one of my biggest regrets. Both of my daughters have been there a number of times, as have my grandkids. They rave about it. I was always too busy working and busting my butt. And now, because traveling, especially to countries like Italy, requires tons of walking, my feet just aren't up to it anymore. A trip to Costco is a challenge for me. I've always wanted to make it to the city my Mom was named after; Florence. I know the food is among the greatest on the planet and the music? Man, I'd love to attend a Puccini opera at La Scala and mix in with the Italian people who really know their opera. Another Italian friend of mine who has been to Italy a number of times tells me that just sitting on a bench watching the women walk by is a treat. Beam me up, Scotty ... and place me on that bench. :-) Frank |
Thanks, Carp ... that’s exactly the case. One of the important things I handed off to my two daughters was an excellent work ethic taught to me by my mother. I also provided them a private education, free of the government’s monopolized school systems and the indoctrination that comes with it. They, in turn, did the same for their four children, all of whom are extremely successful. # 1. Commercial real estate broker # 2. Speech pathologist. #3. Attorney. #4. MD - surgeon. Me? I was lucky to make it out of high school. :-) "It is important to lead a disciplined life. Why? Because in the final analysis, discipline weighs ounces. Regret weighs tons." ____ Jim Rohn Frank |
Back in the day, I had a Fiat sedan. What a fun car to drive. Then one day, the heater core burst, flooding the floor of the car. I just bypassed the heater and continued to drive the car into the ground with no further problems, except on cold days, because there was no heat. Then there were the three Peugeots that I owned. I looked up the term "Peugeot" in a French dictionary ... the translation was ... "Terrible freaking car." The second translation was: "Nightmare to own." The new Alpha coupe and the Fiat roadster both look good though. Frank |
