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

Looks OK. You should be good to go.

Looks like roughly 10 small squares applied. A bit higher than your magic number of 8. 

I now have about 10 days of watching the improved video and hearing the improved audio from my New Dark Matter treated Oppo 203. This is a nice improvement to an already good player. I really think if you system uses CD's or DVD's this is an upgrade worth trying.

I didn’t mean to imply 8 or 10 are magic numbers. But I did find out it can be overdone. That discovery was made on a classified system. The moral of the story is more is not better. It’s not necessary to cover the entire tray surface. The NDM is currently going out with 10. Subject to change without notice. Your patience is appreciated.

I now think 8-10 is great, less might be equal to or......

I see only 6 squares/rectangles in your photo of the top loader. Am I missing something?

Rectangles are roughly the equivalent of 2 squares.
