In Reply to: Re: The HBL8200 and HBL8200H have a brass backstrap... posted by Duster on January 23, 2006 at 19:09:03:
This now comes down to food-and-wine tasting, Duster....personal preference.But I would, based on experience, state that a cryo'd and Cooked Hubbell *does* sound better (offer more musical information, a lower noise floor, etc. etc.) than an untreated unit....although there are those that would prefer the untreated unit (I actually suffered through this experience with a local dealer). This again is personal preference.
And caveat emptor....not all cryo treatment is the same, nor are the sonic attributes of products cryo'd at different facilities. Similar, but not the same, due to the varying temperatures and soak times between the varied treatment.
