Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Re: FWIW.....

Todd:

"I think cryogenic treatments of connectors, cables, switches, etc. do improve the sound."

or conversely,

"I DO NOT think cryogenic treatments of connectors, cables, switches, etc. do improve the sound."

The whole purpose of PHP is to make either of these two statements and then attempt to back them up with a scientific of technical explanation. That's what all the fuss is about.

Of course we're all free to think what we want (based on whatever experiences we have had) or simply *believe* what we want. But if someone is going to talk about technology in a technological forum, they must certainly understand why they are being asked to provide more evidence than just "I believe it to be so" or "That's what I heard...."

How do we learn of the actual mechanism by which things work if we stop at, "Okay, I think I heard a difference - let's cap off our level of understanding right there..."

It's not bad science. It's non-science!

Oh yeah, I used to use quitar strings that were cryo'd. I liked the sound of those particular strings, but cannot say for sure whether or not it was the cryo process that gave them the sound I liked . But I was using cryo'd strings for the longest time. Dean Markley Cold Steel they were called. Very bright and distinctive tone. Really sweet with the right pickups.

Cheers,
Presto
