Other threads have been focused on one particular product, and I thought it might be appropriate to start a more general one to discuss various current (and future) products from this company. Users of PPT products, and those who are interested in or considering them, please post your experience, thoughts, questions etc.

I purchased a new home in early October, so I have been in the process of getting my system set up, settled in, and back to where it was before. During that time I had forgotten a little bit how profound the “Perfect Path Effect” is. Does it defy conventional thinking, and easy explanation? Absolutely, but I have proven to myself over and over that it is very real.
All the signal and AC connections in my system were previously treated with Total Contact. It had plenty of time to cure, so I did not reapply it when I set up this time. I have 16 of the original Omega mats, two each under my CD transport, DAC, pre, amp, power strip, on top of my speakers, and on the outside of my breaker box. I have an Alpha card on the back of both speakers, over the crossover. I have StopIts on the unused inputs and output of my pre. I have StopIt ACs in all the unused listening room outlets. The latest addition is a pair of Omega+ mats on the outside of my breaker box.
I could go on and on about natural detail & dynamics, coherence, involvement with, and just plain “realness” of the music, but, in the end, it’s something you have to hear for yourself. I really wish I could have everyone that reads this over to listen with me 🙂

tommylion ... At this point, I’m thinking that the four most effective placements for the Omega + E-Mats are, in the following order: 1. In the circuit breaker box. 2. Under the power conditioner. 3. On the rear and on the sides of the speakers in line with the drivers. 4. Under the electronic equipment. Frank |
gcdrum ... Are the plugs on the side of your power conditioner where they won't interfere with the mats? If so, then placing the mats on top should be fine. Remember, Tim said that the effects would go through thick steel plates. As you know, I've placed mats on the outside of my speakers, and they have penetrated the wood of the speaker and affected the drivers which are probably four to six inches away from the outside of the speakers and the mats.

thecarpathian ... Krissy has been trying to get me to do this for a while now. I don't drive much anymore, but I'm tempted at this point just to see what happens. Frank |
koestner ... Put your first two Omega + Mats in the circuit breaker box. Presently, there is a bundle price being offered by PPT on two Omega + Mats. https://perfectpathtechnologies.com/product/2-pack-emat Frank |
koestner ... On the mats vs the fuses ... Hard to determine this one. If you're getting two of the original Omega mats, I'd go with the mats. If you are getting one mat and doing all of your electronics with the fuses, I'd go with the fuses. If the decision is one mat or one fuse, I'd go with the mat in the circuit breaker box. Another alternative would be to buy a Total Contact kit and paste all of your connections with TC. If you did that, I believe you'd have better results than you would from just one original mat or one fuse. Warning ... These products are like eating potato chips. Once you get started, it's hard to quit. Happy New Year ... Frank |
