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.

So my ten cents.

Geoff gave me one of his modded Sony Discman players for postage money.
It works VERY well indeed.
Last week Geoff sent me a packet of the NDM to try in it.
Honestly I swear there is a bit more detail to a well known CD I played through it.
Now let this sink in, I am not having to justify any purchase here.......

I could just as easy say it's all crap.

But I honestly think it works, at least in my Discman in my system.

And you can say what you like about the guy, with actions like that he cannot be all that he is somewhat painted to be.
Sure an abrasive nature but you have not caught me on a bad day yet.... Lol.
Four days without a post anywhere by Geoff, what's up with that?
Not sure I would waste time commenting on a thread about myself or my products unless specifically requested to.
GK likely has more sense than that and knows the vultures are gathering overhead......
Great analogy Elizabeth.
Never even really stopped to think about it that way.

Maybe that's why bees are disappearing?
Somebody told them they can't fly and they listened.....
I may have to get a kit for my OPPO now too.
Nice review David.

And a great movie! 
Bit of advice George.

Try not being so darn testy in your posts and they might last longer.

I truly miss reading them, hate to see just a bunch of removed posts.
@celander 

For sure GK can be a challenge to deal with at times and he does rub a lot of people the wrong way but that's his nature here.

Now George will say it's the same old group of gullible snake oilers trying this as those who peddle fuses, mats etc.

I would agree that some are the same members but for a total different reason.
More its the same group of people because they are open and receptive to the possibility that tweaks can work and are willing to try them.

Not every tweak works for every person, I have had some I have returned.

Imho the NDM did seem to have an effect in my little battery powered Sony Discman. This had GK previous Turquoise inside which I removed to replace with the NDM.

Sometimes you just have to work around GK foibles!
OP
George can get that way at times
Not much love lost between George and Geoff here.
But GK is a big boy and can stand up for himself quite readily.
I would agree that you may find better effect inside a traditional front loader, that large cutout is exactly where I stuck a load of the NDM.
Please keep us informed
Hey if we can bend the time space continuum in here, surely changing a rectangle to a square is child’s play.
