Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

Is that the jacket with the buckles and straps that you can padlock just to be safe?

Anybody who comes to this thread and openly trashes Tim’s products without trying them and trying to put a negative spin on this product is not being fair to Tim, his product or themselves in all honesty.

Ok so I get you think it is incredulous that it can possibly work especially in light of the lauded accolades heaped upon it.

Still if you have not tried you really have no right to be so negative.

Put up or shut up!

And that annoying jacket tied behind your arms makes it impossible to wipe your chin!

Don't know about you but Thorazine generally makes me drool during naptime here at the facility. Yuck.

@kedoades 
Please see my posts in New Tweak- It's Fantastic, page 49.  Where I share my experiences with proofs of purchases and graphene tire slime.

Have we run out of Thorazine again?

C’mon on people...

Stop knocking stuff you HAVE NOT TRIED!

Unless you truly think that the majority of the active members on the agon are all idiots who are easily parted from their money.

You are all barking up the wrong tree on this one.
Especially funny the way Wolf and Elizabeth keep coming back and attempting to ridicule Tim's product with NO FACTUAL EVIDENCE at all.
Well I say funny, it is not truly, rather sad in fact.

But whatever makes you sleep at night.

have you tried them oldtech0

Removes money from your bank account as well as lowering the noise floor to -200 db or lower by proximity.

What, exactly, does an Omega Mat do? How does it do it? 

  I can't believe how good my system sounds now,  it really is unreal.  I think that the last batch of alpha e cards really improved things.  I am betting that the ones placed inside the cabinet next to crossovers is really having a positive effect.  I just ordered another batch of alpha e cards

Thanks @grannyring

Correct, I added the Audio Magic tweak and then removed it.  I have the 2170,  not the 3400.  I think the 2170 is all most would need and perhaps sounds a tad more organic and musical.  

Hi every one I've been following these ppt threads for a few months now (it took that long to read through them). 

It's such a interesting journey reading the threads as there have been many sceptics won over to trying these products and then converted into true believers. 

I'm going to be taking the plunge on a bundle soon from Tim.

Question for @grannyring as I have the tdai3400. A while back you mentioned having to remove an audio magic pulse rfi suppressor. I take it this was not a standard tdai3400 component but something you had previously experimented with ?

ozzy:
I am glad you are using the Omega Mats. I would recommend the next step is to buy a syringe of the Total Contact, and treat all connections you can reach in the circuit breaker box (with the whole house breaker turned off of course).
 At my house I treated about 76 connections. Try to also treat the main ground connection and if possible the circuit breakers that are involved with the audio system. I did it in three sessions as to not get overly tired and make a mistake. I did one wire at a time as to not re- hook up any thing wrong.

This will really augment the good effects you are getting with the Omega Mats.
David Pritchard

Ozzy ... 

As I said in a previous post ... the more mats, the better the sound gets. Try two or three in your circuit breaker box, as that seems to be the most effective place to start with them. Then add mats under your sources as the budget allows.  Just keep stacking them up. *lol*

Also, the Omega E-Mats work really well in combination with PPT's Total Contact. Its a synergy kind of thing. 

Although I've never tried them, based upon several reports from users, the MC-05's seem to degrade the effect of the Omega E-Mats. Not knocking the product here ... just reporting on what other's have shared with me.

The sound I'm getting from red-book CD's is absolutely fantastic. Its been a solid four weeks since we pasted the circuit breaker switches and the mains with TC. This is a phenomenal breakthrough in sound. I'm going to attempt to get several A'goner's over for a listening session this coming week and they can report here what it's all about. Zowie!

Mas, MriBob, and Steve ... you guys have to come over to hear what's going on here. 

Frank

yoby,
I sold all of the MC-05's.

Frank, David, 
I do have only one Omega mat in my circuit breaker box, but I also placed one underneath my Niagara 7000. Seems to have a pretty good effect there.

ozzy

Yes---thirty-four pages of positive attestations regarding the breakthrough products of PPT.

I just received my e cards yesterday (fast delivery) but I just put them in my main system this evening. Two on the stock umbilical cord at each point of connection. One on the Audience R2P-TO power conditioner. One under the Eichmanns power strip and one on the DNM preamp’s power supply. I wil probably do some further shifting around to find the best placement for my system. 

The improvements are definitely noticeable in more tuneful, powerful bass and a more detailed, organic treble and midrange. Soundstage has also improved some. The notes fade out more completely and are better defined. The PRaT is definitely improved.

Thanks for great products and fast delivery Tim!

A very effective place to put the small Alpha cards is on any Wall Warts that are in your audio circuit. Very impressive in the improved sonic effect.
Ozzy- On my circuit breaker box I found two side by side to cover all the circuits to be the most effective. I did eventually add two more to even greater benefit.
David Pritchard

Hi ozzy: Why did you remove the High Fidelity MC .05s from your system? What are you going to do with them now? Jeff

Ozzy ...

My circuit breaker box is just a little larger than the size of an Omega E-Mat. So, I put two in there and just closed the door. Subsequently, I pasted the breaker switches and the mains with Total Contact. Putting the two mats in the box was really effective. I also have a sub-panel in the master bedroom closet. Putting two mats in there was a significant improvement as well.

The combination of the mats and the TC really complement each other. I suggest you contact Tim and get some TC and really go to town on your system. At this point, the noise floor of my system is beyond disbelief. No joke.

If you're worried about the TC degrading over time, don't be. I've had many of my connections pasted for over two years now, with no degradation at all. In fact, I think it just continues to improve. 

Again ... congrats on your results. :-)

Frank

Right now I only have one in the breaker box and it is placed over my 3 dedicated audio breakers. 
Maybe as suggested I need more. Do you double the 2 mats or spread them out over all the breakers?

ozzy

Seems like some of us are ready for another round of Omega Mats?  

Good to hear, Ozzy. I was wondering ... did you try putting two E-Mats in the circuit breaker box? 

Frank

You never know what you got till it's gone. Isn't that a song lyric?
Anyway, early on in this thread I was sort of negative about this tweak, but now I know its the real thing! I have heard the sound difference and it is huge!

ozzy

@ozzy 

I must admit that as per your statement I would say I had mostly forgotten the emats and ecards in my system were even there.
However I do not intend to remove but it is gratifying to know that there is an immediate discernible difference upon removal.
I would say they are one of the best tweaks ever performed in my system and yes the SQ is just taken for granted now.

Yes, I have taken all of the MC-.05’s out.

ozzy

@ozzy Do you still have the HF mc.5’s in your system too, or have you taken them out in favor of the E-mats?

Well I’m a believer.
I have had a few of the Omega Mats in my system for several months and actually forgot about them. Yesterday, I removed them and immediately it was like I sucked all the life from the music.

So, today I reinstalled them. Almost immediately I could tell the deep, involving sound quality that I have (guess) taken for granted come back into the sound! It may take additional time for them to resettle to full affect, but I am glad I tried this experiment. Highly recommended.
Fantastic Tim!

A real eye opener!

ozzy

  The e cards do have the same effect, you just need to use more of them.  What I like is they can go in some places that the bigger e mats are not practical.  I have some e cards on my preamp and preamp power supply which would not work with the e mats because they would be blocking vent holes.  I also have positive results with them on top of all of my power cords and interconnects, and next to speaker crossovers.  They before and after with 20 e cards is amazing.  

Frank or Tim,

Installation matters aside, did you find that the E-cards had the same degree of effect that the Mat had?

Since I will not be looking to replace my CD player now, I will be ordering additional product. I just need to 

 Thanks

RC

I have had a similar experience with the Omega E-Cards. I have a card on each of the power cords where they connect to the equipment, and cards extending over the IC's where they connect to the equipment as well. Nice additional lowering of the noise floor was gained by doing so. A further gain was had by putting Omega E-Cards along the sides of my turntable motor. 

Frank

Just wanted give this report of a happy find. 

I had my speakers in my main system upgraded and after about a 800 hours of break in my system started to sound a bit grainy in the treble. I thought that my CD player was finally exposed for its age. I had already installed an omega mat over the transport. The power chord and umbilical connections had already even treated with TC. My intuition kicked in and I adjusted the omega mat to overhang the umbilical cord, since it is the only stock chord in my system, that connects the transport/dac to the power supply. 

Immediately, the grain was gone, the noise floor dropped and the soundstage expanded significantly. This was completely unexpected so I just wanted to share it with the group.

rc

There is no doubt in my mind that an Omega Mat placed at the circuit breaker box gives outstanding improvements to both audio and video systems.

At my house and Mother’s apartment we experienced what fleschler just described.
Both my Mother and myself thought the improvement to the 4K OLED TV(LG brand) and 43 inch Sony 4K TV was significant and worthwhile.
Unlike some Tweek’s- the Omega Mat is easily removable, so if you move take it with you. Also it is easy to install and remove. If you do not like it send it back.
Return postage is less than $8:00.
It is a fun experiment to perform.
David Pritchard

That's awesome Joe! What's funny is I have been doing the same thing, not jumpers though. Playing around with their spades and RCA's. The break-in on those every bit as rotten as their duplexes, but so worth it a few hundred hours down the road. 

I forgot to mention this morning, that a thin coat of TC on your jumper wires insulation will further enhance their performance, same if you completely coat the entire banana connector. Have a great weekend!

Thanks Tim, that does help a lot.  Yes, all parts are new. I only did one side for now--the Furutech is competing with the Cardas jumper kit with their Maggie pins. I was always suspect of the small wire gauge on that kit---tuns out they sound pretty good, but the Furutech is gaining.  Omega mats lie beneath each Maggie, covering crossovers, fuse banks, wire connections---outstanding improvements. 

@jafreeman Good morning Joe, great job on your jumpers, that's exactly how I would construct them The thick coating in this case
will take a little longer to polymerize, but it will. Not sure if your wire and connectors are new, if they are , particularly Furutech makes for a rough
beginning. Hope that helps.    

jafreeman  ....

• "I coated the outside of the stranded braid thickly, thinking it would all spread out as the set screw flattened the wire outward in the barrel."

I think the thick coating may have something to do with the "problem." Only a thin coating is required. TC takes time to cure (dry) for it to be at its best. You've noticed an improvement over the past week, right? I think that's because your thick coating is starting to cure. It should continue to improve over time. That's my take anyway. :-)

I'm approaching four weeks out from pasting the circuit breaker switches and the mains. What I'm hearing now is impossible. Truly impossible. 

I need more things to paste. :-)

Frank

Is it possible to use so much TC that it takes more time than usual for improvement in sound?  I built four short Maggie crossover jumper cables using stranded  Furutech speaker wire terminated by set screw pressure against wire inside of barrel (gold) of banana connector.  I coated the outside of the stranded braid thickly, thinking it would all spread out as the set screw flattened the wire outward in the barrel.  The jumpers did not sound as good as I had hoped at first--they are improving after a week (25 hrs).  The parts are of good quality---wondering if too much TC is possible, or is it self-limiting over time and just taking more time as it cures.  Tim/Krissy?     

Almost another week has gone by since the circuit breaker box was pasted with TC. The SQ continues to improve. Its not quite at the magic four-week point yet, so we are looking forward to that.

 Also, I added another E-Mat to the secondary circuit box in the master bedroom, for a total of three mats there. The noise in the system continues to drop with each mat added to the system. What's astounding is, just when I think there is no more noise to be removed, the noise is lowered even further.

I put four E-cards around the motor of the turntable too. The jury is still out on that one. The noise is lower but it seems to have gained a little muddiness in the bass department as a result. That's nothing new with the PPT products. There are times when they are first applied, at least in my system, where the sound is degraded for one to a few days ... but then it comes back better than ever. This is especially true with the bass.

Hey, you TC pasters, E-carders and E-matters ... do you have this album? 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Don-McLean-American-Pie-1971-LP-Used/323699459108?hash=item4b5dfdc424:g:cvM...

I dug it out last night for a friend during our listening session. I haven't played it in several years. It's really a great 70's classic rock record. If you've heard it, you know how good it is ... but NOW? Fantastic.

Highly recommended.

Frank

Steve (fleschler) ... 

Try to find the time to come up for a listen. As a result of pasting the circuit breakers with TC, something special is going on. I think you'll like it and gain a little insight into what you have to look forward to in the new house. :-)
