In Reply to: Are you suggesting that the differences are sufficient to ruin an outlet? posted by Norm on February 8, 2013 at 11:33:31:
....that there are qualitative differences in treatment that can affect the overall sound quality, and improve performance.Cryogenic treatment does not "ruin" the outlets. You and Jim simply have a personal preference for the sonics of an untreated outlet. And without a doubt, neither of you re-conditioned or fully conditioned the outlets you listened to after cryogenic treatment. If you did, you might have changed your tune.
What most people don't realize is that the cryogenic treatment alters the state of the materials into a new state, so effectively the outlet is brand new. And it will sound different. And it must be conditioned, or "broken in" (again). You heard a brand-new outlet that sounded wholly different from stock, and without any proper conditioning. And you didn't like what you heard. But it wasn't "ruined".
