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, on my way to Theater Camp this morning, I found myself wondering if the material you use relies on surface plasmon resonances?
To repeat an earlier post of mine, does it rely on surface plasmon resonances for light absorption through the utilization of specific nanoparticles tuned to absorb specific wavelengths or frequency ranges?
And since it’s the nanoparticles doing the work, the color of the nanoparticle impregnated material does not need to be black. Did I win?? Did I win??
WOOHOO! I knew those mail order physics classes would pay off! I shall pm you...
Mike-So I’m the bad guy? Like I have some kind of power over you or anyone to post here or not. Mike’s reputation precedes him. And that is to say little about the thread, but a lot about himself and what he does. And given the evidence of part two and three of his SEVERAL parts, that’s where it was heading.That is how I see it. I promise I shall not use my superpower of post prevention on Mike or anyone else. So, you’re all now safe from harm and free to post to your heart’s content.
@michaelgreenaudio- Mike, you should have just stopped at part one. You said it works and you don’t care how it works. Anything else past that (like your part two and three) is just a segue into you long windedly talking about yourself, what your about, and pretty much a thread hijacking. 
"If so, I think some of us should still hold Geoff down and give him a serious torture tickling from time to time."


That’s not creepy at all...
@mapman - what took 14,000 posts, for Mike to admit he wants to tickle Geoff all over? GACK! So much for eating tomorrow......
@jetter- Man, that's a little severe. I just shuttered uncontrollably for a bit and lost my appetite for the day...
Why couldn't Batman go fishing?


Because Robin ate all the worms!

See, not all jokes are funny. Wait. That IS pretty funny....
I believe he is, fellow Gloopy. Hey, we should start a club! We could hold meetings and have secret handshakes and......no? Ok.
Received my NDM from Geoff, thank you. When time permits, I shall install it and share my impression. We now return to our regularly scheduled nonsense...
I think it's terrific you landed a job so quickly after Subway instead of going on the dole. Cheers to you, mate...
You mean like dreadful, awful, terrible, appalling, grim, grisly, vile and ghastly?
Sure, if you'd like....
Do you mean wonderment, amazement, astonishment, admiration, reverence and veneration?

Or do you mean terror, dread, and fear?

Words can have more than one meaning, dude......
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....
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.
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.
