Cryo'ed LP's

How will you listen to them if they are frozen for 30 years?
just kidding.

Bill the only stone around my system is in my Kidney :)

I really like the effect cryo treatment has on SOME materials. After reading the writing of some weenie audio writer who liked cryo'd LP's, I thought I'd add a few LPs to my order with Cryo International. As I feared, every single LP came back warped and unplayable! There were sections I was able to play (typically the inner track) and I compared them to a non cryo of the same LP. Cryo had no significant effect on the LP sound. It sounded identical to me. So there you have it. No improvement, 100% damaged and unplayable.

I like cryo for tubes, copper cables and various parts. BE CAREFUL!

That's odd, Highendman. There are quite a few cryogenics labs specializing in audio items - including LPs - such as Cryogenics International and Enduro Cryogenics. One suspects that if properly controlled cryo treatment of LPs produces warped LPs these cryo labs would have ceased to advertize LPs as one of their specialties a long time ago, eh? You know, with customer feedback and all.

Cheerio

Geoff, You were not serious about "cryo"-treating your LPs using your home freezer, were you? I assume you know that temperatures attained in a home freezer are nowhere near low enough to have any effect on molecular or atomic organization of any material (except of course for freezer burn). OK, you were kidding, and here I am taking the bait.

Has anyone really cryo-treated an LP with good results?
