Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
David, As an E mat "superuser", your endorsement of the mat, both personally and professionally, carries considerable weight. I am looking forward to adding more mats over time--thanks for the encouraging reports of continued gains with each addit...

Listening to my second E Mat, placed Thursday between Richard Gray 240V/120V system transformer and Richard Gray 1200C front-end power supply, which supplies Wadia 861 SE/GNSC player that has one mat underneath.  If there is a "noise floor", the b...

I like the E Mat more than any idea of how it works---just placed my second mat 12 hours ago, let it sit for 8 hours--now listening.  Things that are happening: a more dramatic low end, a quieter floor--as if the room just became a small cavern.  ...

I'm sorry to say that the TC did not do as much and certainly not as quickly.  @fleschler Yes, the Omega E mat alone is felt by many, including me, to exceed both the SR Blues and TC combined, but I would not want to be without any one of them, as...

Wolf--you are an extremely UNCOOL PERSON for what you've done to ruin threads and should never be listened to.    
Granite and digital..
I agree from experience--granite resonates if speakers and subs are close to your components.  I still have my amps and CDP on granite slabs but have solved the problem with footers I have made.  If you want the look of granite, just have some Cor...

My one E mat sits on a thick slab of granite, magnetic face down, and is 2-1/2" away from the bottom of my CD player. I don’t think the vastly improved sound has anything to do with the magnetic face of the mat interacting with the component. Perh...

It appears then that magnets and external magnetic fields are bad around circuits that are energized with electric current that has its own local magnetic field. As mentioned, various demagnetizing products used on media and cables tend to improve...

@sbayne Thanks, and I just looked at your system---a very impressive commitment. I’m a rube on all of these signal-enhancing, field- generating devices--need to get out more, I guess. You have invested extensively in the Tranquility Base, a well-r...

@t_ramey I am using one Omega E Mat, placed under one-box CD player/preamp--will be ordering a second mat in the near future.

This E Mat has to be the best audio bargain of the new century.  I am lost within the depths of new layers of music that just weren't audible before.  It's all so clear and sweet--just what I would have expected from an expensive upgrade.

To each his or her own, but I would not dedicate a $600 mat to a $130, stamped metal box full of $8 circuit breakers when I can place it at the system, under a front-end piece costing 2K to 20K or more containing hundreds-to-thousands of parts tha...

That's a tough one, Lak.  You may have to experiment with placement, but that's not very tough to do.  I would try the DAC or Preamp first, then move it back to the distributor after a few days to compare. You are going to like this thing.

Listening now--was away from home for three days and am enjoying my return to music more than ever since placing an E Mat under my Wadia player, a large unit that also contains a pre-amp. Two E Mats could fit under this player, which is now 3 inch... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
The question is too embarrassing to even ask---like asking if good tires really matter.
