RE: Ahhh....


Appreciated unclestu. Peace all round.

Now we have calm, can we continue to look at the subject of freezing - irrespective of whether it is freezing using a domestic deep freezer or freezing using cryogenic temperatures.

It is a 'red herring' approach to bring in the FACT that cryogenic temperatures are much lower than the temperature of a domestic deep freezer. Everyone and his uncle KNOW this FACT so, with intelligent people, it is already 'taken into account' in any ensuing discussions. Particularly when the descriptions given by people who CAN hear the beneficial effect i.e. greater height, greater depth, greater width, better separation of instruments, better resolution etc are identical descriptions - irrespective of which freezing temperature they have used.

It has now been acknowledged that some people can 'hear' the beneficial effects of freezing, some cannot but ALL can try the technique, for themselves, at no cost (except in time and patience) but for the people who CAN hear improvements in their sound by carrying out the freezing technique, the time spent and the patience devoted to it is well worthwhile.

Nor can one dismiss these people's experiences as "It must be because of suggestion, the placebo effect, imagination, audio faith healing or effective marketing." because one would then be dismissing so many 'professionals in audio' THEIR experiences !! As I have said previously you can have some disbelief, some scepticism that what many people are describing actually happened (that the sound actually improved) but to not try something when it is so easy to do so but yet still be prepared to dismiss 'out of hand' other serious and sensible 'audiophiles' and 'professionals in audio' experiences borders, in my opinion, on arrogance.

Over the past 25 years I have seen people go through the whole spectrum of reactions.
Some people do not want to try things for themselves but they don't want others to try things either so they make every attempt to discourage others from trying things.
Some people do not want to think things out for themselves but they don't want others to think for themselves either so they make every attempt to discourage others from thinking things out for themselves.

Yes, everyone is entitled to and can voice their opinions but it seems, on so many occasions, to be a downright prolonged attempt by certain people - way beyond what could be regarded as an 'opinion' - to be naysayer regarding anything out of their experience as well as self appointed policemen for the audio world.
So, I would encourage people to experiment, for themselves. At the least you might be pleasantly surprised, at best you might be amazed !!
