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?

That's easy.  You will hear a wider sound stage, 3 dimensional presentation and much tighter Bass.  🤣

If it’s treated it’ll sound cool.

Do you mean the honor system doesn't exist?

I store  all my 1957 vintage tubes, cables and fuses in the garage freezer until needed.

Dammed if I know. Probably the same way we verify that fuses make a difference and that they are correctly oriented. We listen and hear, or think we hear, the difference. Is there a god? OK, prove that!

@newbee Now that reminds me of the Agnostic, Dyslexic Insomniac,  who stayed awake all night wondering if there really was a Dog.
