To add to your posting, Moray James.
During a conversation with the British audio journalist Keith Howard in 2001, Ed Meitner commented :-
> > > "Stereophile had a whole bunch of their test discs treated. Some were treated and some not. Almost everyone they sent them to agreed that the treated discs sounded better. Another thing that happened which was probably even more interesting was that Analogue Devices came to us and we treated some 20-bit DAC chips. They sent out untreated and treated chips for people to try and again the same thing happened: the treated ones sounded better.
There was never a failure. We treated tons of solid-state stuff, whole circuit boards, and the only bad thing that happened was that the electrolytic capacitors would lose their shrink-wrap. That was it. We even treated speaker voice coils." < < <
It was also obvious that Ed Meitner's work and investigations into the cryogenic freezing technique was what prompted Robert Harley's "Cryogenic freezing" article in the December 1990 issue of Stereophile. In my opinion, this article was/is one of the most significant articles in the history of audio.
23 years on - why is the subject still so controversial ?
And, Moray, in 1999, the New York Times did an article on "freezing musical instruments".
