Cryogenic treatment of an LP?


Is this even possible? I am just thinking outloud here and wondering of the benefits and welcome your comments. I'm unsure if an lp could even survive the process normally targeted at metal components. (Warp factor 10 captain). Ultra freezing and then slowly re-heating a chunk of plastic. Still, one wonders exactly what impact molecular alignment would have (if any).

Through the employment of ultra-low temperatures, 300 Below, Inc. cryogenic processing helps improve all kinds of products by realigning the molecular structure of an object, optimally resulting in items which last significantly longer and perform far better than they were previously designed.

Geoffkait - I'll admit that I have reached the end of my ability to discuss this topic in a useful way. I'm not a materials engineer or an expert on the cryo process so I can't really get into the specifics of the process and how it relates to specific materials without doing more research than I'm willing to do. I'll wave my white flag and let people make up their own minds.

This Friday I should have the opportunity to discuss this topic with some people in the audio industry, specifically turntables, so I'll see what they say. I'm expecting them to say it matters, but doubt I'll get any real explaination.

As a final question, can you explain the specifics of how you compared the before and after to verify that you can hear a difference of a cryo'd LP?

Mceljo- I am a materials engineer and have considerable experience on the cryo process; I'm actually one of the very first to use cryo for audio applications, going back nearly 15 years. I suspect cryo is just one of those things you have to hear to believe. LOL

People in the audio industry? Hmmmm, I'll be on pins and needles to hear what they have to say. LOL

Is this like a final exam? I thought you weren't going to ask me that. LOL

Geoffkait, That is a very logical question, and one I'm glad someone finally asked. I'm on pins and needles......

Yeah, right. Kinda like the question, How can you verify the existence of God? Real logical.
