Whilst you are deciding and whilst you are trying to find a company to do the full cryogenic freezing treatment for you, why don’t you try some simple ‘treatments’ of your own using your own deep freezer ?
Start with two identical CDs, treating one and keeping one untreated as the control. We were quite lucky in the UK during the early 1990 because a few of the Hi Fi magazines would have a free CD attached to their front cover – so we were able to obtain identical CD copies quite cheaply. If you don’t have two identical CDs, then usually people have a CD somewhere where they have been disappointed by it’s sound ever since they bought it. Dig it out if you have one, listen to it to confirm that you still don’t like it’s sound, then place it in a plain plastic bag and place it in your deep freezer. Usually 24 hours freezing is ample time. However, when you lift it out to defrost, the secret is to allow it to return to room temperature very, very slowly – usually by placing it in a towel or blanket.
If you find you have success with a now better sounding CD, then try the same freezing/slow defrost technique with an interconnect and then with an AC power cord !!
