| Now that my feet are wet.... In audio everything is relative, but you also have to understand that a lot of people suffer from placebo effects and will believe in anything. In addition, a lot of audio tweeks that can work may require a system that's much better than what you ... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? If I were forced to make a prediction I would have guessed the opposite. Go figure. | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Tonight I visited my local hi fi store and had the opportunity to listen to some fantastic music starting with the newest Clear Audio turntable, Aesthetix products between the source and speakers and Focal Stella speakers with dual JL Audio Gothom... | |
| Please help a Novice When listened to several of the affordable/budget speaker brands I personally was not highly impressed with PSB. I'd look at Focal Chorus, B&W, Paradigm or Monitor Audio first, but I will admit that PSB wasn't a bad product, just my least favo... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? You mean it's easier to get used to a new sound that's actually the same instead of worse? | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Iso - Can you cryo them or should I just put them in the fridge when they arrive? What's the break in period on them? | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Can it be proved in a forum thread? I'm specifically thinking of materials used in audio applications that would change for the better, but would be happy with any example of a material that starts at room temperature and then has a permanent mate... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now that you've essentially said that CDs and records that are shipping in the northern states in the winter will sound better than those shipped in the summer. Should audio purchases have a s... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? "By the way, an alternative to sending audio items like LPs to a cryo lab is freezing them overnight in the home freezer, then let them thaw out slowly in the morning."Really? You're really going to say that a home freezer is similar to a cryo pro... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? If I have to hear it to believe it, then what A/B process did you use to verify the difference? If the average person wanted to prove it to themselves, I don't think that sending you and LP and waiting a week is really an adequate method of compar... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait - I'll admit that I have reached the end of my ability to discuss this topic in a useful way. I'm not a materials engineer or an expert on the cryo process so I can't really get into the specifics of the process and how it relates to spe... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Geoffkait - So you're saying that you're willing to compare the sound of a hammer blow to a piece of metal to what happens when an LP is cryo'd?If this is the common result of cryo treatment of metal why would people cryo brass instruments?A diffe... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? First, explain to me why a cryo treated steel rod would vibrate less and how it can be verified, then we can discuss how that transfers to vinyl. If it's obvious and you've done it a practical explaination that's based in science shouldn't be too ... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Cryo treatment effects the material properties so unless the use interfaces with these properties then it's meaningless.As I've said before, a more homogeneous material may transmit vibrations more uniformly, but it doesn't reduce the vibrations i... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I have been racking my brain to come up with any reason that a cryo-LP would sound better. Sometimes something unexpected happens during a process and the change is attributed to the wrong thing. Here's the only thing that I can think of.Is it pos... |
