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,

"glubson, we all have our little paranoid obsessions. I hate to judge too harshly but it appears I’m one of yours."
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.

we do artificial atoms right!
Put the NDM in my player last night. I'll be darned if it didn't sound a bit more detailed and clean. And I shan't be darned....
LMAO GK.

OK here is a bit more enthusiasm for you.

I was suitably impressed with the kit I installed in the discman and the Pioneer that I need some more for the C.E.C in the main system so will contact you to buy a kit.

Howzat!
In a country where hyperbolic speech is the new norm, as when something mildly amusing is dubbed 'Hilarious!' Or a trivial annoyance elicits 'That's the worst!' I prefer the British approach of dignified understatement.
Yeah, that’s done a lot of good for them. Stiff upper lip!  😬 When a thing is not promoted something terrible happens. Nothing.

One thing I have to admit here.

Have NEVER EVER been accused of making dignified understatements......
Installed Machina Dynamica's New Dark Matter recently. I found that on CD 's I've listened to countless times, there was a noticeable improvement in detail and clarity. A bell's tinkle that was previously lost in the background, the extension of trailing off notes.... 
I would recommend it for anyone who desires additional clarity to their music. An inexpensive tweak that adds value beyond its very reasonable price.
Installed second batch in my C.E.C transport.

Listening to some piano and acoustic guitar music right now.

Nice rise and fall to the edges of notes that I had not noticed previously.

Dynamics are very alive and strong.

For the cost of this it is a very worthwhile tweak for sure.
