My Stan Warren DVD Player Arrived Yahoo

Just wanted to let you guys know the Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player I sent to Stan Warren in early December came today. It was ESP also. I have never bothered him before, but I was curious how his back log was doing, so I decided to call him from my office. He was not in. Amazingly, when I got home it was on my porch waiting for me. I then called just to leave a thank you on his ansering machine and he was in. We talked for over an hour (glad for 5 cents/minute). FYI, he is out of his favorite CAPs, and has 5 machines waiting for the order to come in. Don't know what else he is working on. I'll try to post back later here or a new one and let you know how it sounds once it breaks in. He told me 100 hours will get it to 90% and a month to get the last 10%.

This idea has been around a long time and comes up from time to time on these threads. Mostly regarding freezing Cds, but also cables. Two words of caution, don't freeze anything with a glue or chemical bond joint......and personally I would not apply any tweak to my cables or Cds
which cannot be removed/reversed. What if the sound changes
and you don't like it, you are screwed. This is my opinion
but if you feel like going through the hassle to try it good luck. I would try a sample run first!

Stan freezes the circuit boards in the players as part of his MOD, including the parts he rebuilds. That is how it came up in conversation.

I, too, have heard about applying this technique to CD's. Have any of you tried it, and if so, what improvements--if any--did you hear?

Mike Vansevers freezes the electric outlets on his reference level power conditioners. He may freeze the plugs on his power cords too, but not sure. ---- Stan mentioned freezing CD's also in our conversation. He also said he a did a controlled test with someone at a Univerisity near him, where they froze cables using liquid nitrogen, which is much colder than dry ice. They also had control cables not frozen. They were all able to successfully identify the unfrozen control cables, but could not tell which of the frozen cables were liquid nitrogen and which were dry ice. Therefore, he is very happy using dry ice as a cheap and easy to get freeze.
