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.

"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"?
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.

Mceljo, You gave it an earnest try. I believe the debate went in your favor:)

If I have to hear it to believe it, then what A/B process did you use to verify the difference? If the average person wanted to prove it to themselves, I don't think that sending you and LP and waiting a week is really an adequate method of comparison.

Why would anyone send me an LP? Hel-looo! Send the LP to a cryo lab. Listen to the cryo'd LP. If you cannot be sure of the results, mistrust your ears, or have poor aural memory, etc. compare the cryo'd LP to the same LP that hasn't been cryo'd. You can even do blind tests, you know, whatever you feel is satisfactory. Make sense?
