Freezer Cryoed Cables...

Why the references to Slappy? He hasn't even posted in this thread yet.

Frankly, I'm hoping he does, because his response will probably be the most entertaining yet.

Come on Slappy- say something!

Sorry, Rpatrick. I didn't realize that you were serious. My chief concern is that you weren't accounting for the inevitable condensation that would result. But apparently you've created freezer ready "Seal-A-Sound" (couldn't resist!) by wrapping it in plastic. I would urge you to throw in those little desiccating silica packets, then let the item sit sealed for a day, so that moisture is further eliminated. Quite frankly, I can't see how cryo'ing at freezer temperature could possibly make a difference, and the unnecessary risk of condensation would certainly remove this from my list of tweaks.

Danlib1,

I must be spending too much time at Audio Asylum as I was more than a little tweaked by Thsalmon's comment. Good-natured humor is great, tired platitudes are, well, tired platitudes.

I'll try an' chill some homey. :-)

The improvement may be caused by simply removing and replacing the cables. I found this to be very effective - I assume it cleans something off the connections which builds up slowly over time and gradually degrades the sound without your noticing.

It seems unlikely that freezing them would make much difference, but I've heard other tweeks that I didn't think would work work. Many cables probably get frozen brand new in box in transport to the store, if they are shipped during the winter.

On the other side of the coin, what about cryoed cables/outlets/tubes that are shipped to hot climate areas in the heat of the summer. Does the molecular structure of the metal conductors revert back to their pre-cryo state? Do folks pay extra for expedited shipping in dry ice???
