@erik_squires I’m pretty certain you know the answer is that nobody knows anything claimed about any product unless they can verify it themselves somehow. You are operating on pure trust otherwise. So be sure as always to do your homework and know who you are dealing with.

Personally, if I am paying a premium for something advertised I expect at least evidence and preferably proof. Esoteric and often expensive hifi tweaks are merely one very good example. High quality cosmetics is another that is very common. Always check the ingredients at minimum else all bets are off. Verification if tested somewhere is even better.

Companies marketing products often bank on the fact that consumers will take any claims made at face value and expect no proof or evidence. This is the norm. One can choose to be a smart consumer and maybe trust but verify but frankly most are not able to and don’t.

”A fool and his (or her) money……” always holds true.

@mapman Good points, all of them.  I remember not too long ago there was a huge scandal about some Be tweeters not even being Be at all.

@carlsbad2 -

I've never been a fan of cryo.  If you want nothing to change, cool it to cryo temps.  Physics has never provided a basis for it working on anything.  I've also been in several other hobbies where it is touted as a cure all.  Never seen a difference.

                              Perhaps: you've not been paying attention?

           iow: YES, cryo treatment DOES fundamentally change the molecular/crystalline structure of metals (as well as a plethora of other materials).

          More to the point of the potential affect of cryo treatments on our cables/components/systems:

                                           YEAH, I know:

               It must be true.  It was on the internet.

                              Never mind: the sources, right?

Funny thing about Cyro (and other tweaks and mod's) is while the molecular structure may have changed, with audio stuff what are the odds that it will make and audible difference. But, interesting enuf, it seems from user comments it always does, causing me to wonder why I often see stuff for sale which has just went thru mods 'updates'. 

BTW, I read some where that cyro'd stuff was used in our space program. Go figure. :-)
