CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

geoffkait  Your CD dark matter is not a CD player but an additive tweak to remove scattered light from the laser.   It could be a phenomenal product but you still need a CD player and your tweak would be expensive for my 7000 CD collection.  I'm just pointing out that great sounding CD players don't have to cost an arm and leg like high end analog.  Also, that this 1998 DVD player modified beats all those "digital sounding" (just not equal to any analog) players I heard/had from the 1980s and early 1990s (my friend and I collected about 3 or 4 dozen players from Sony, Denon, Sharp, Marantz and a dozen other names).  Anyone want an 80's Sony or Sharp?  I'll give them to you if you pay packaging and postage.  

Yes chakster, that is how l organise things. Hear the music on digital format, like it, seek out a vinyl. The only problem with that is sometimes you get a whole LP of average music for the sake of one decent song, whereas you can select on the digital files (songs) that you like. Personally l prefer to listen to the LP side by side, thats how the artist intended it.
However l guess thats part of the adverse nature of the analogue man!  

fleschler, I’m pretty sure you misunderstand what New Dark Matter is. NDM goes on the top surface of the player tray, not the CD. That’s why I challenged your player. It’s a one-time treatment for the CD, DVD, SACD, or BLU RAY player. 

Dark Vader came over tonight; we had dark chicken and listened to some rather light music in the dark. Dark prefers to listen to analog because he says the digital hurts his head. I don't mind. Dark don't matter.

Okay, I found the site listing for Dark Matter CD liquid treatment and a Dark Matter CD Tray square treatment.  I assume you are referring to the top of the tray treatment then since I thought it was for the treatment per CD.  Can you instruct me as to how and where on the top of the CD tray the squares are to be placed?  There are 10 squares.  What size are they?  If they are too large, they will cover the corners of the tray too much.  Also, if I place them in the CD tray area which holds the CD, the CD will not spin as freely.  https://www.stereophile.com/content/machina-dynamic%E2%80%99s-new-product  This ad states there are 15 squares.  Why the double stick tape if it is to be placed on top of the tray?  80% coverage is indicated as optimal.  Again, how does one cover 80% of the tray with a sticky side up as well and permit the CD to spin freely?
