I don't know about the freezing the cables, but seeing that there're some merit to freezing cds, I decided to experiment . I put a copy of Kind of Blue in a zip-loc bag in the freezer for 24hrs, then in the fridge covered with a terry cloth for another 24, then room temperature for 3 hours.
I've used track # 5 "Flamenco Sketches" as a tester for quite sometime now. I've probably listened to it hundreds of times. On first impression, the openning bass line was more immediate, snappier, and "woodsier". The trumpet then came on and the sound was definitely smoother, more body, and better focus. The sound overall, and pardon my inadequacy of capturing the changes, was livelier, more prat, smoother, more transparent, and better extentions at the top end. The one drawback that I've noticed is that there seems to be some loss at the bottom end.
I was very skeptical, and heard about this for quite some time now, but finally decided to give it a try. I'm not sure if the effect is permanent or if I will do this for all my cds, but there are definite noticeable changes. Anyone tried cryoeing a cd?
