What does the cryogenic treatment do for the Beldon 82959 ?
I was a long range shooter for many years and cryogenic treatment will help certain steel alloys in rifle barrels to wag in a more predictable fashion and migrates carbide to the bore and increases longevity, but not all steel alloys benefit and even in the alloys
that do benefit it's a reletively minor improvementI wouldn't think that cryo treating copper would benefit anything but the bottom line of the folks selling it,is there an actual discernable(readily audible difference)?
Did you ever compare the cryo. treated 89259 to the untreated ?
I find the speaker cable and IC's I've made up truly amazing.
I'm paying $152.00 for a 100 ft spool of Beldon 89259 from Full Compass Sound.It seems like a real crock to me,but then again I once believed that all wire sounded essentially the same and tube technology was flawed compared to well engineered solid state and subsequently realized I was dead wrong on both counts.
At any rate cryo'd or not I think the John Risch 89259 designed
IC and speaker cables are one of my all time biggest bang for the buck system improvements, I've had a few friends who are audiophiles
who have spent insane amounts of money on IC's and speaker cables
who thought my building these cables was quaint or something until
I made them up a set and then when you finally hear back they start asking how much the Beldon cable costs and whats involved in putting them together and sound a bit sheepish in the process ;-) It's probably a good thing you can't contract AID's from getting boofoed by Nordost and the like,I recently saw some 1 meter $5K IC's, WOW !
I'd love to have a mailing list of the folks who actually shelled out 5 grand for a pair of IC's,I could retire in high style in a couple of months I market the 2 gauge solid platinum conductors with a Yak hide teflon impregnated dielectric and have them painstakingly assembled by Bulgarian dwarves during certain lunar phases etc. call them the DART reference PTB (definative analy retentive reference P.T. Barnum) models and they'd be $10k ;-)
