Nice transport!
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.

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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |

If you can’t stand the heat keep out of the kitchen ..✌🏻✌🏻 >>>>Nope. You’re describing yourself. You’re mistaking comic timing for criticism. Besides, in your particular case it’s not heat so much as feathers. |

Nothing haunts Geoff. He always resets upon waking up. Besides, NDM also sucks up those spiritual entities that would otherwise haunt him. Gooff, you should wait longer than a minute before responding to one’s post. 🙄 And anyone here ever wonder how Geoff accomplished the feat of over 14,000 posts? One word: Recycle. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/apoxna-2019-my-friday-morning-show-review/post?postid=1735325... |
This just in! Customer X just called to say he flew out and installed NDM in “the Big System” of his Customer Z, in Oregon. Boy, are his arms tired. 🤗 Report from Oregon: Much more of everything, a lot more details, no distortion, frequency extension top and bottom. Horrendous bass slam and articulation. Better get busy, guys. Note: Customer Z has the BWS Consulting high power tube amps that come in at 600 lb shipping weight and will set you back 30 grand. |
