What is The Gate exactly? A noise filter?
No, it is not a filter. What it is "exactly" is very hard to say. What I can say for sure is it is not a filter. In the normal sense of the word, a filter is a screen of some kind that allows to pass more of what you want and less of what you don’t want. If that sounds obvious well, you’re the one who wants to know exactly what it is. Sometimes all we can do is tell you exactly what it is not. It is not a filter. Nothing goes through it.
It does however seem to behave as if it were a filter. It sure sounds like the power is hugely cleaner. If you have ever listened late at night and loved the sound, well this is like that only about a hundred times better.
Everyone wants to know exactly what is going on. No matter how many times or how clearly it is stated we don’t know- and wouldn’t tell you if we did! Only thing more frustrating than that is when I DO tell people as best I can what I THINK is going on, nobody cares. So I am about THIS CLOSE to telling you all to STUFF IT!
ONE LAST TIME!
The signal is not what we think it is. The signal is not electrons traveling down wires like water in a pipe. Yes this does happen to some degree but nowhere near enough to account for what we hear. The vast majority of the signal is the fluctuating electromagnetic field created by and surrounding these same electrons.
Because the signal is a field emanating from and around electrons in a conductor, and not merely within the conductor itself (or along its "skin", or any of that malarkey), then all kinds of things placed within this field are going to affect the signal. Study physics, the field radiates out to infinity. I seriously hope you are paying attention, bookmarking, studying, because seriously getting tired having to explain this. Okay not explaining, actually like that part. It’s the nobody getting it part that’s getting old. See my post from April last year. One full year explaining I think is quite enough, and we are just about there.
Now, we all know about all kinds of cool new materials that have fascinating properties like superconducting at room temp. Most of the attention is focused on computing and things where micro-precision is required and so a lot of this research is still in the lab. But the same principle can be used in a gross general application like improving signal transmission in wires. Hello? Beuller! Right.
So you take some of these incredible materials, put them near a wire, the fields interact, and the transmission integrity of whatever is in the wire improves dramatically.
This is exactly how this stuff works. Near as I can tell anyway. This is why it works in an electrical panel. And I am not gonna tell you more except to brag and say I figured a lot of this out all on my own right from the beginning even before getting one and using it. Simply knowing it goes in the panel ought to be enough for you to figure out what is going on. It was for me. Sorry if you’re not up to it. I am. Deal with it.
All this stuff is more or less the same too. This is why Total Contact works even when painted on the outside of caps and transformers and wires. It is much more than a nano-arc reducing contact enhancer. Read this post over and over again until it sinks in!
This is how eMats and eCards work. This is why the empty suit moron is such an unspeakable moron he can’t understand its nothing to do with shape or manufacture or magnets or any of that. The freaking label- ITS NOT THE LABEL!!! And yes some of it we call "filters". This is totally to do with the inability of people to get their mind around what I’m saying. You ask, we explain, yet still you do not understand. So we like space aliens try to put it in terms your limited intelligence can comprehend. Like go watch Star Trek until you figure it out!
https://youtu.be/9463hBWy0ig?t=20This is why Mats work on the outside of speakers. Get it? This is why they work under and over and near all kinds of components. Get it? This is why it works even in a panel way out in the garage. The signal isn’t in the wire, and it is not just in your house or your system either. The signal is a fluctuating field that goes out in all directions and it extends - you can look this up in the physics books - to infinity. And beyond, as Buzz Lightyear would say.
Get it? Got it? No? Too bad. Done anyway.
Almost. One more thing. Just get one. Get a Gate from Tom, if you can. Or whatever else you can. Just do it. Read what Frank says. Read what I say. We are not kidding. Just do it.
