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.

What was your intent in posting this comment?

Jay,

I expect no electrician would, and certainly no electrician should sign and notarize such a letter as they would not be qualified to comment on the safety of such a "black box". Their expertise is the electrical code, which is not the same as having knowledge of applicable product safety standards.


UL, and others, can do field inspection, typically at the MFR, for small run productions, based on acceptable documentation from the MFR and an inspection of the assembly of the product (not just exterior, but how made) to ensure compliance to typical standards of most manufactured electrical products.

Additionally, require a signed and notarized letter from the electrician that they find The Gate to be safe in their professional opinion. Good luck finding such an electrician! 😂

Thank You for posting that!
We have made it a priority to keep your equipment safe with our products, and we accomplish this by:

-clamping voltage (the lower the better)
The mention of a clamping voltage means The Gate most likely uses cheap MOVs. Not only is it a potential liability for your insurance, it is also a potential safety & fire hazard!

I tried to call the company to get more information about this product, but every time I called, Joel Epstein answered.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?
There are most definitely some pretty callous types around this neck of the woods!
Maybe you two guys should see if you can get Better Homes and Gardens on the case. I keep telling mom I’m almost ready for stand up and ma says, but don’t you have to be funny? 😀
