I have been following this thread for awhile and have a couple of questions. I have a main panel and 2 sub panels in my house. The main panel in my house has the audio system and a sub panel has the home entertainment system. Will The Gate impact electronics on the sub-panel or do you need a Gate for each panel. Second question - I have been considering moving to a battery generator like The GoalZero Yeti or The EcoFlow Delta. This will eliminate the 'noise' from the panel, however these generators also produce 'noise'. Is it possible to leverage 'The Gate' on one of these power generators. If so any thoughts on would it be better than having the Gate on the panel. Thanks for any feedback.
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.

davea33 ... I have a main panel and that's where I put The Gate. I also have a subpanel in the master bedroom closet. I managed to fit four E-Mats into the subpanel ... two original mats and two "plus" mats. The Gate in the main panel was a huge contributor to SQ. The mats were a nice improvement, but not as great as The Gate in the main panel. I can't answer your questions regarding the battery-powered generator due to lack of experience, but it sounds like a great place for a few Omega "Plus" Mats. Maybe someone else with the experience can chime in here. Take care ... Frank |
In 2 days I wil receive The Gate from Marigo. I ordered it (along with Mats+ and Cards) a few days ago. It was the very last one of this seller. Ref. my post https://forum.audiogon.com/users/michael_be . I have a question on the installation of The Gate. In the breaker panel there are 4 wires coming in: L1 - Neutral - L2 and the Earth. I know that there are 2 wires coming out of The Gate. From what I read, the PPT instructions say that one wire must be connected to the neutral and the other to an unused breaker. This way The Gate sees 110 volts. On some posts it is said that The Gate is connected to a 220 volt breaker, and it even sounds best this way. But in fact for The Gate to see 220 volts, each wire must be connected to a separate breaker, one breaker tied to L1 and the other breaker to L2. So as such a (one) 220 volt breaker doesn't exist in the panel. Could someone help me understand this? Also can The Gate withstand 220 volts? Thanks, Michael |
michael_be ... Have you installed your Gate yet? If not, Find a breaker switch that services your dryer or air conditioner and use that one. Frank |
