Freezer Cryoed Cables...

I have lots of experience with real cryo. That being said, I have never placed any of my equipment or wire in the freezer. What I have done, previous to any cryo of wire in my system, is throw CD's into the freezer for a few days (ie. 24-48 hours). For those willing to try this, I think you many of you will be surprised at audible improvements. The question is whether this "treatment" has the staying power, or the total effect, of real cryo. IMHO it does not, but throwing CD's into the freezer is something that anyone can do at any time, and this is a tweak that has actually been discussed in different forums for at least a few years. So my suggestion to the skeptics would be at least to try some "frozen" CD's and then report back.

Audiobugged: Yes, there will be condensation on the CD as it warms up, but it will be gone in about 15-20 minutes. The frozen CD tweak is easy enough to try; in my opinion the results are subtle (mainly a slightly smoother, less strident presentation), and are not particularly long lasting. Real cryo of CD's will give a more noticeable improvment-can't really argue that it is any longer lasting with the skeptics because of "aural memory" issues, etc. etc. but I do have CD's cryoed. May try some vinyl in the future.

Mhu: I have been cryoing CD's for about a year now. One person's "dramatic" is another person's "subtle", but I would say that cryoing will give you a bigger performance boost than freezing. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being subtle and 10 being dramatic, I'd put the freezer tweak around 3 and cryoing around 6.5 to 7. I would say that bass performance is quite a bit more improved with cryo than freezing, but the biggest enhancement with cryo is a significant reduction in glare and edge. Freezing does it to a minor extent, but cryo gets you quite a bit further down the line in that regard as well as improved transparency.
