Cryo'ed LP's

I can only think of bad things that can happen, like the process will permanently deform the grooves, etc. And I cannot imagine the rationale for it. By all means, try it and tell us what happens. But keep your 6-eyes and your original Blue Notes out of the freezer for now, is my advice.

A possible explanation for why cryoing improves LP performance is the same reason it improves the performance of golf balls, rifle barrels, automotive engine cam shafts, trumpets, not to mention tonearms, turntable platters, CDs, interconnects, structural rods and shelves of audio racks, etc.

I cryo'ed the brush used to clean all of my stylii and noticed a tremendous improvement.

I say go for it but make sure you cryo the jackets and sleeves as well.

Theosundhouse--bummer on the SSD, IK have done a ton of them (and RAM too--pretty much the same thing as an SSD) without any negative results. Did the person you used for treatment use a vert slow ramp down, and slow warm to ambient?

FWIW--I've done lots of LP's for people, the feedback has been universally positive. However, I would encourage you to treat some albums easily replaced first, and once you are sure you like the changes cryo causes, then move on to irreplaceable stuff.

Br3098--Ha, nice one!

Geoffkait, you were going to mention the possible explination?
