The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test


Some have wondered about the Cryo'd outlet test that this skeptic has agreed to do, thanks to the generous loan of an outlet by another member. The situation is that the outlet, and its non-cryo'd twin have been breaking in for several weeks and I think we can agree they are ready for evaluation. Performing the tests will involve littering the room with various amps and speakers with the associated wires strung around, so, and I am sure you understand, I need to wait for a free day when my dear wife is elsewhere occupied.
A report will be made.

Any results yet? I recently installed my first cryo-treated Hubbell 20amp IEC (from Jena Labs) onto my passive in-line power conditioner that connects to my amplifier.

This cryo-treated Hubbell 20amp IEC replaced my stock non-cryo-treated Hubbell 20amp IEC connected to my passive in-line power conditioner.

I'll save the results 'til later.

-IMO
I have a question for AudioGon. Why did the thread that started this "test" get removed?

I am only posting here so I can follow this one more easly from "my page".

I didn't think the previous thread got out of control.

P.S. I do weigh in on the pro cryo'd outlet side,just to state my bias. Thanks again to Albert!
Bigjoe...I guess I agree that I am "into" digital, and I will use a digital amp, as well as a conventional solid state one, or two.

As to speakers, I will try some conventional box speakers (Madisound Odin 7" MTM, or Dynaudio Gemini) as well as the MG1.6.

I am only "into" vinyl in the sense that I did it for many years and still have what I consider a good playback system. I had not planned to use it as a source, as my digital sources are (IMHO) cleaner. However, the phono preamp is an outboard unit (PS Audio II, featuring super low noise transistors and passive RIAA equalization) and I can easily plug this into the Cryo'd outlet and give it a listen.

In general I intend to test using stripped down simple systems, so as to not confuse the Cryo/nonCryo comparison.
No biamping or subwoofing. Minimal interconnects.
eldartford,i know from reading your threads & responses that you are into vinyl,are you also into digital? the reason im asking is that i would love to hear from a skeptic what it really does for digital & vinyl.
