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.

Because Robin ate all the worms!

See, not all jokes are funny. Wait. That IS pretty funny....
An example of an unfunny Harvard joke. Harvard is a hard school to get into but easy to get out of. No, wait a second! That is a funny joke.
I disagree about the ease of leaving a Harvard program. Some graduate student in a Harvard Chinese History PhD graduate studies program could not find a “real world” job. So he simply stayed in graduate school as a teaching assistant. In that program for at least 23 years...
I believe he is, fellow Gloopy. Hey, we should start a club! We could hold meetings and have secret handshakes and......no? Ok.
I am always for clubbing. As long as there is no entry fee. Meetings as often as possible. We can even make geoffkait a guest of honor so he does not feel lonely.
I honestly don’t see you as a clubber. I see you more as a glubber, which might not be much consolation.

Gliddy glub gloopy, nibby nabby noopy la, la, la, lo, lo
Well, glubber is fine with me. It is fun to see how little you can guess correctly. Geoffy, toffee, coffee, eee, eee, eee...
This has "devolved" into what seems a boy's club board for this topic.  Not of interest, to me at least, probably most others who have curiosity around Geoff's NDM.  
I just checked audio forum protocols and it turns out that troll OPs cannot devolve. That would be the equivalent of water running uphill. That seems pretty intuitive. I suspect what are needed at this juncture are a few over the top reviews. 
I perceive no secret passwords, nor do I acknowledge that females cannot participate.
Yeah, like we needed more proof. Give me a break! The Hubble has provided awesome photos of black holes for a great many years, anyway. Harvard must be feeling a little down in the dumps. Besides, isn’t this another example of providing evidence that shows nothing and claiming it’s something. Furthermore, wouldn’t it be more impressive to show us a photo of the supermassive black hole located right here in our galaxy?
It appears Geoffy Downer is off his meds again today. Or maybe got some dark matter in there where it does not belong? Lighten up! Pun intended.
I was wondering how that penultimate post would be addressed to avoid becoming the death knell of this thread.
I don’t imagine Moops will take umbrage at that comment since he doesn’t know what umbrage means. To make matters worse he doesn’t know what penultimate means, either.
It appears the Dark Matter may absorb one’s senses of wonder and  humor as well. Tricky stuff!
Breaking Gnus!! 🐂 🐂 🐂 

Researchers announced on April 10 the discovery of fossils in the Philippines that they say were from a species closely related to humans.(Rob Rownd/UPFI/UP-ASP)

Please welcome a possible new member to our band of upright apes: Homo moopicus, whose teeth and bones were discovered in a cave on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The remains represent a new species, scientists concluded in a report published Wednesday in the journal Nature. 

Our genus, the Homo in Homo sapiens, contains multitudes, including the thick-browed yet sophisticated Neanderthals and Homo erectus, a nearly 2 million-year-old species that may be our direct ancestor.

Say what?
😕😕😕😕

I guess as the OP you are allowed to troll your own thread of course......
Gad Zooks! Even I’m confused now! 😳 Uber’s arrows are pointing to mapman. Is mapman the troll?
My bad ...lmfao

Yes this thread is guaranteed to make anybodies head spin!

I guess I meant Geoffs product forgetting it was not actual Geoff who created this thread.

I blame lack of sleep on that oopsie!

😇😇
"...wouldn’t it be more impressive to show us a photo of the supermassive black hole located right here in our galaxy?"
Too late, NDM absorbed it all.
Old Hubble photos of black holes. (And illustrations). I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it appears Harvard is a little late to the game. Furthermore, LIGO Observed very good evidence of black holes two years ago when they observed gravity waves produced by black hole merger. I’d say better evidence, actually.

Although I usually try not to feed the beast ,but black hole sensing is at least relevant to me for now.

Only because while in vacation in Reno we watched a show in Reno State University planetarium on Black Holes which touched on the huge black hole that was now "viewable" in our own galaxy.

Pretty darn interesting in all honesty not that I can remember much of the technical side of it.
I am trying to figure out which one was first or which one is more powerful in sucking it all in. NDM vs. Black Hole. It has not been clearly deducted yet.

As of today, I am also puzzled by possibility that celander and geoffkait are the same person.
The Harvard press conference rumpus regarding “photographic proof” of a black hole is a perfect example of fake news. Whereas NDM is real news! See the difference?
I implore you, gentle readers, how stupid do they think we are? The speaker in the video who, I assume by his demeanor, is a Harvard scientist, 😬 says the black hole dimensions fall out from Einstein’s field equations. That’s ironic since Einstein never got on board the whole black hole train, as it were. Toot! Toot! 🚂. Fake news! A tempest in a teapot.

The title of that video says...


"...captured by team of Harvard scientists and astronomers"
while the text under the video starts with...


"A global team of astronomers, led by Harvard scientists..."
Are all global astronomers from Harvard?

Is there a description of what "led by" actually means?
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...
"Received my NDM..... We now return to our regularly scheduled nonsense."
Come on, give it a chance. Maybe it works.
“...captured by a team of Harvard scientists and astronomers.”

>>>>>>”OK, come out with your hands up!”

”A global team of astronomers, led by Harvard scientists..."

>>>>>”A team of astrologers led by Harvard global conspiracists.”


There’s nothing new under the sun. Hubble photo of black hole release date 2014.

Then, the following year was this.

The first direct observation of gravitational waves was made on 14 September 2015 and was announced by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations on 11 February 2016.[3][4][5] Previously, gravitational waves had only been inferred indirectly, via their effect on the timing of pulsars in binary star systems. The waveform, detected by both LIGO observatories,[6] matched the predictions of general relativity[7][8][9] for a gravitational wave emanating from the inward spiral and merger of a pair of black holes of around 36 and 29 solar masses and the subsequent "ringdown" of the single resulting black hole.[note 1] The signal was named GW150914 (from "Gravitational Wave" and the date of observation 2015-09-14).[3][11][note 2] It was also the first observation of a binary black hole merger, demonstrating both the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems and the fact that such mergers could occur within the current age of the universe.
