| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Actually, we are leaving our home for a larger home, one with a dedicated listening room with only equipment and seating and another separate room for media storage (plus a 120 sq ft Tuff Shed for at least another 5,000 LPs unsorted and unheard). ... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I've been reading on line concerning absolute versus inverted polarity. Let's say my CDs are mostly (92%) inverted polarity. They sound great. Why? Maybe my equipment, speakers and/or CD player make polarity inversions whose end result inver... | |

| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. So many recordings were made or mastered in reverse polarity. Here's an excellent expose of polarity issues pertaining to both equipment and recordings. https://iamyuanwu.wordpress.com/audio/audio-direction-ltd-adl/adl-absolute-polarity/Equipmen... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Just one E-Mat on my main power box improved the Sony 4K 75" picture and associated sound components. My wife said the E-Mat is a keeper in not those words. | |

Just try one under tube gear and see how much better the equipment sounds than with the built-in footers. The worst sounding footers were Magico Qs, at $1400 for a set, they s l... | |

It was sent back repaired and the reviewer grungingly ... |
