Doing the Power Cord Thing

I was one of the first to employ the services of a cryo lab for audio stuff. There were some manufacturers employing cryo by the end of the 90s, including Meitner and a bunch of cable companies, later on some aftermarket fuse manufacturers and some speaker manufacturers, certain turntable manufacturers, and so forth. But the unsung hero is actually Peter Belt, who promoted using the home freezer for CDs, LPs, cables, CD players, etc. as a more convenient and cheaper way to get the same sort of effects as real cryogenic treatment. Peter Belt was promoting freezing before cryogenics was a blip on the audiophile radar.

Ah, we have a psychologist on the forum. Sweet! 🤗

You can’t judge a book by looking at the cover. The secrets are hidden.

Examples:

1. cryogenic treatment
2. control of directionality
3. cold welded connectors
4. continuous cast copper and long grain copper
5. silver added to connectors
6. gold added to the silver
7. Highly polished conductors

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with DIY. I’ve done my share. But why on Earth do folks do things by halves? If you’re going to make DIY power cords please, gentle readers, the least you can do is cryogenically treat them and try to figure out which direction they should be BEFORE you attach the connectors. Don’t forget a nice, long break in period.  And suspend them. I don’t know how you guys tolerate all the distortion. Seriously.
