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.

Jay23 ...

  • "Do you have one such hour of masters that you’ve worked on and know as well? Yeah, I didn’t think so."
On that point, you would be wrong, Jay. You’re making ridiculous statements without knowing what you’re talking about.

1. I have hundreds of hours of master tape recordings. They are stunning.

2. You lied about your "friend" being unable to return his Gate. I know for a fact that not one PPT customer has attempted to return a Gate once purchased.

3. Had your "friend" not liked the Gate, there wouldn’t be a "past the trial period." The return policy still would have been honored. That’s just the way they do business at PPT. Plus, with the exception of "Total Contact" there’s a 90-day return policy on everything sold by PPT. Is your "friend’s" hearing and/or system so bad that he/she couldn’t discern what the Gate was doing within 90 days? Come on man, you are way too transparent.

4. Your assertion that the Gate "colored the sound" isn’t true either. The Gate doesn’t color sound. It purifies the AC throughout the entire house/office/recording studio, and allows one to hear what is actually on the recording. Perhaps you and your "friend" should reevaluate your recording/mastering skills.

Honestly, if you’re going to post here, the least you can do is to tell the truth.

Finally Jay ... why is it that we never see you and georgehifi in the same place at the same time?
