This e-mail has been cryogenically treated

I’d like to announce that, for no additional charge, all of my e-mails will be cryogenically treated. You can’t prove otherwise.

Seriously though, when a manufacturer claims their product has been cryogenically treated how would we even know? At least with seafood we can run DNA analysis, and often we find out we are being ripped off.

How would we know this about cables, plugs, power connectors, etc? Has anyone ever even seen this being done? That’s actually a serious question. I have never actually seen this happening.

How would we even know if, for instance, they treated a batch in 1995 and no longer do?

I hope your cold stare doesn't freeze anyone out or you'll hear from me.  Or maybe you won't.

@mapman Good points, all of them.  I remember not too long ago there was a huge scandal about some Be tweeters not even being Be at all.

but most people on this forum don’t believe in measurements, so there is that.

I believe in measurements, I don’t believe in people taking non-scientific approaches to measurements such as:

  • Making claims that the current measurements are the end of all measurements
  • Making claims about measurements and perception or desirability that are not actually proven or may be an individual preference.

Still, with as many tools as I have around this house to measure distance, temperature, humidity, speakers and electronics what I don’t have is anything that can prove to me if a cable is OCC or not or if it has been cryogenically treated or not.
