Re: cooling tubes in freezer section of refrigerator

I'd suggest looking into cryogenic treatment on the web. There's a fair amount of info available on how the process is performed commercially. The magnitude and delta of the temperature seem to be considered crucial to the process, and it would seem to be indicated that a much lower temperture than that available in a standard freezer, along with a tightly controlled, very slow return to higher temperatures is necessary to produce the stress relieving effect that is the goal of cryo treatment.

I appreciate your efforts at experimentation, but I wonder a bit at your saying you don't listen to physics. How can one establish if what they have done is the reason for a given improvement without using a logical method and trying to understand the mechanism?

Just to stir the pot of experimentation a bit, I wonder if the change could have occurred just by putting the additional 22 hours of play time on the tubes? Might be worth trying the experiment with an additional control pair of that were only played for 33 hours but not subjected to the freezing treatment. If it works out that the freezing treatment is better you can count me in for trying it out!
