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.

geoffkait,

Do not flatter yourself, it is not your lucky day.

The picture with some Geoff, for all I know it could have been you, was right in front of me during my stay at that restaurant. I could not avoid it even if I wanted to. It is true that right now you are truly unique. You are the only Geoff I know, or at least am aware of.
I finally put in the Dark Matter CD and Blue Ray treatment in my EVS modded (with EVS upgraded power supply) Oppo 205 last night. I had received it over a month ago and made a lot of power cord changes so held off putting it in. Upon playing my system today there was a definite change for the better in sound quality. I was quite surprised at the i.improvement for the money spent. 
I wanted to add that the sound just seems cleaner like some layer of hash was taken out...or at least a major part of it. Very definite positive difference. Seems like vocals and instruments stand out more and at a higher level of resolution! It was very quick and easy to install in my player. I will definitely be trying some other Machina Dynamica products  in the very near future. I would appreciate it if others reading this thread could also highly recommend some other Machina Dynamica tweaks.
What’s interesting is even with an EVS modded Oppo 205 (which is not chopped liver) there’s still a long way to go.

There’s no substitute for signal to noise ratio.
