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.

For a quick summary, since I have been instructed by carp not to be windy or hijacky :) 

The fact alone that Geoff is looking at possible effects on the audio signal is one that should be recognized. My review was going to turn to how even though Geoff does not have an in-room system he has an awareness of the possibilities in audio. As well even if Geoff has his own style of presenting, don't we all. Aren't we all looking to the explaining of audio in a way that makes sense to us? I like sticking closely to the fundamental forces and labs that support them as well as finding things that possibly have reached beyond what has been texted booked up till now. This is how I view Geoff. In my mind I have to separate what I read him saying, what I have studied and focus on what I am experiencing.

In the end is what I experience and how I see it fitting into our listening lives in a positive way. Can you use NDM in a positive way? In my book you can. Will it work for everyone in a positive way? I have no problem with everyone in the hobby buying some and trying it for themselves. If NDM does something you needed done, good investment, if not then you will add to the experienced collective list.

have a great weekend

Can we have pop quiz about obvious reasons?

"I also sold a set of various color pens for coloring the CD, including the data side; that product has also been discontinued for obvious reasons."
I am torn between "CDs are becoming irrelevant so market is shrinking" and "Staples stopped carrying them".

The latest posts on botanics have been amusing. In fact, following this thread is, sort of, pleasant. Gold stars for geoffkait and celander.
And I only bring up phytochromes for their unique special properties, not as a substitute for NDM. It’s the geek in me. Like MG, I couldn’t care less about the mechanism whereby NDM works.
