also have cryoed 100s of CDs....

maybe thousands... there's a bunch of rolling cabinets filled with them. Never had CD rot, not on one so far, and they do sound more clear and open... makes sense, they're destressed and there's less uneven diffraction. You ca see this if you take a sheet of polarizing film, tape it over a lamp, the take another piece of polarizing film and look at the CD through it, rotate the pola film and you will see a bunch of strange fabrication stresses where the polycarboate or whatever resin was injected under extreme pressure. A double cryo run will visibly reduce these stress veins. Somebody should take a pic and put it in one of the audio 'zines.
