To cryo or not to cryo

I've been cryoing cords, cables, CDs, components for nigh on 12 years, a bit longer than the avg bear. :-) Never met a cryo'd item I didn't like. Why does cryo work? Who the hell knows? There's really only one way to find out for sure....

I don't understand this verbal merry go round about cryo treating cables or equipment. If it sounds better, buy if not don't. I have cable that is cryo treated but I don't have any cable that is the same without the treatment. My philosophy is if it sounds better, get it if you can afford it. The person who sold me the cable said it made a slight improvement in sound, and I have no reason to doubt his opinion. My home made stand made an huge improvement in sound, I don't understand it, but I enjoy the sonic benefits.

I have some experience with cryoed powercords. I think cryoed powercords sound more dynamic and noisefree ("blacker background") than their non cryoed counterparts and sound more extended in the frequency extremes, but at the same time they also lose some of the "musicality". So for me: no cryogenics!

Attempting to gauge results of cryoing cables and such too soon is a risky proposition; it takes about a week for the cables, etc. to recover from the trip to the cooler and simply won't sound quite right until they've had a chance to recover.

I have been using my deep freeze set on its coldest temp. The deep freeze is right next to a fridge in the basement so its easy and the wife don't miss that things go from the freeze to inside the fridge.

I have only done cd's and dvd's at this point. Does it work...I dont know. But many that have a/b two cds say its a nice improvement. Its a free tweek and easy to do.

I do have some scan speak woofers that have been going back and forth from the freezer to fridge at the current time. I will redo a pair of speakers sometime in a few weeks so until then...cryo them!!

My wife asked me yesterday...."why are you cryo treating the speakers!"
