Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment?

This is a set of adhesive-backed thin plastic pieces that one attaches to one’s transport or player disc tray. The disk rests on them during non-spin mode, but presumably don’t touch the applied thin pieces during playback mode. The company says the new Dark Matter pieces reduces background scattered light from reaching the photodetector, thereby improving performance. 

Anyone tried this product? Please specify transport or player if you have and your impressions.

>>>>Green pens, sadly, only address 25% of the stray laser light, the red part. The other 75% is invisible, which is not (rpt not) amenable to the color green or any color. That’s why NDM is such a breakthrough. It absorbs the red part AND the invisible part. Hel-loo!

I have a spare Fanuc in the machine shop, I can program it to mark up CD’s with a green pen... the problem I see is what with machine learning, Fanny will soon revolt doing a senseless task...

>>>>Totally unnecessary with NDM, obviously. It was unnecessary before actually, as my Codename Turquoise CD tray overlay was better than the Green Pen, replaced by NDM.

I have been green penning since the beginning, but admittedly, I listen to the cd first to determine if it needs the treatment. Geoff, care to send me a kit, Gratis, as we are old buddies, lol. Enjoy ! MrD.
