I am sure Tim will read this thread and post regarding the safety of the Gate.
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Having been a music lover and audio enthusiast for more decades than I care to admit to I’ve had the privilege of owning some tremendous components over those years and thought I had attained a level of musical enjoyment that would be difficult to improve upon without spending more money than I could afford. Then along came The Gate to turn my audio conceptions on end.
While I was quite skeptical of all of the positive proclamations regarding the Perfect Path mats, cards and contact enhancer ( how could they possibly bring about such sonic improvements?) I took the plunge and purchased a nano bundle to see what the hubbub was all about. Much to my surprise they not only brought about improvements to my systems’ ability to recreate a more musical sound but did so in spades.
When Tim of Perfect Path Technologies asked if I wanted to try his new product, The Gate, I jumped at the chance thinking it would be a nice addition to what the other products provided. I wasn’t prepared for the quantum leap The Gate brought to my music listening pleasure. As much as the other products brought about a much lower noise floor, greater detail and delicacy, improved dynamics, richer tone and more realism The Gate does so in magnitudes difficult to describe. The best way I can describe its affect is unreal purity leading the most realistic musical sound I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing.....outside of a live performance obviously. It has me listening to all of my CD’s as if for the first time again.
I have no idea how The Gate actually works or what it does I just know it’s the most dramatic tweak to my system I’ve ever experienced and I wouldn’t think of being without it. As to how it’s implemented, it’s installed in the electrical panel with one lead connected to the common buss and the other to a breaker ( preferably 220). Hope I got the terminology correct.....I’m far from being an electrician!
At $4,999.00 it’s not cheap but worth every penny to me as I’ve spent more on components with less sonic improvement.
Lastly, I realize some will scoff at something they can’t understand and I get not understanding it as I don’t, but I would hope people could keep their skepticism healthy and civil. I am not here to promote or sell, nor do I have any affiliation with PPT. I am only sharing something that I’ve found to be transforming in my system. Sorry for the lengthy introduction.

Not just on this thread, but in general, there is an obsession towards lowering the noise floor. Maybe its because I have good electricity, but I have to say when I step back and look at it objectively, lowering the noise floor of my audio system is just about as important as having the blackest blacks on my television. I like and feel I have a low noise floor, but its just something I would have never thought to be overly concerned about until it became the subject du jour. |
millercarbon…."For certain they know absolutely nothing about what is inside the Gate."... We can expand on that, for certain we know absolutely nothing about what is inside any of the Perfect Path products (LOL). Not to worry, this will all be put to bed when Tim comes on here. millercarbon, you just became the last person anyone would apologize to. |
miller, for some of us A’gon is where we come to read posts and learn from fellow audiophiles with a common interest. Sure things are a little heated at times, but usually with posters familiar with each other. There are other audio sites where a constant confrontational style is the norm and is expected. Here it comes off as dull. |
Alright, gaters, pasters, matters, and fusers go to one side of room, good old regular apple pie loving audiophiles to the other side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd85ozj0p8o |
Very interesting Frank. If I was going to summarize the whole of the PPT threads, it would be that the improvement in sound from eliminating the "spark" from less than perfect contacts (total contact), electromagnetic interference, i.e. RFI (matts), and dirty AC (Gate), this total improvement exceeds that of a new component such as the REF-6. I hope I got this right, if not sorry. |
