I hate to contribute to these never-ending threads, but...
With all due respects to HDM, no matter how many times you repeat it, I think it's obvious that continuing this debate is yielding very little. If you personally hear dramatic changes in an outlet every few hours, or few days, or 2-3 months, then knock yourself out. Heck, even if you enjoy your music better sitting on a cryo'd couch, then who am I to say otherwise. I think your position on cryo is clear and people can judge for themselves at this point.
FWIW, I wouldn't say science can explain 100% of everything (and scientist do disagree); however, you have to give some (if not more) credence that it could all be in your head.
Psychology and emotion are often more powerful than science and logic. Look how many people believe in ghosts, UFOs and Elvis being alive. We're all guilty of it to some degree, so their is no shame in admitting it. Even the venerable JGH failed a DBT test many years ago that was publicized in Stereophile (take heart Stehno).
Look, the Jedi Mind Trick works just as well on Earth as it does on Tattoine. It's called being gullible and almost every industry tries to exploit it. If you don't acknowledge that possibility at all and maintain a level of professional skepticism, then you run the risk of losing credibility when people actually hear things for themselves (like Stehno did) and came to contrary and embarassing results.
