Cryo'ed LP's

The reason cryogenics works for musical instruments, rifle barrels, tonearms, golf clubs, CDs etc. is that physical characteristics of the materials are improved by the cryogenic cold tempering process. Thus, metals and plastics are stiffer, harder, more homogeneous and exhibit less internal stress and dicontinuities.

Great idea....but...Do cryo'ed ears hear better.....? Hm, I should ask JV....

Raul- I'd like to extend the life of my vinyl and improve the sound if possible. As far as risk/trade-offs, that's what I'm trying to find out.

T-Bone- It is expensive so I only wont to spend the $ on the LP's I value the most.

4est- Yes.

Geoff- Have you cryoed LP's?

Dear Srwooten: ++++ " I'd like to extend the life of my vinyl ... " ++++++

who told you that that could help and that you Lp's goes " for ever "?, even if a person already do it he can't tell you.

Maybe is more unexpensive don't play to often your LP's: this IMHO and the take care on cartridge stylus cleaning and LP cleaning and how you " stock " the LP's and how your care handling it is what could give you extended life.
The other subject that could help for your target is to paste your valuable LP's on a hard disk and heard these copies instead the LP's.

Anyway, your LP's and money: your call, good luck.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Haven't done it, just a guess but I would expect the records to sound colder, less warm after wards, more like digital.

I'm only half kidding on this.....
