In Reply to: Heresy - will freezing improve sound? posted by danlaudionut on January 20, 2004 at 18:43:30:
Hi Dan.Experience speaks. Great minds think alike. You have said what I intend to say. Much appreciated! I wish there are more sensible & open
minds like yours around.Ignorance is not a guilt. Comments on sheer speculation, disbelief, yet without substantiation is not a virtue either. I have seen enough here.
One disbeliever even "guaranteed" some Tibetan Buddha chants would
improve the sound like a chime! Hopefully, that was only a home-loner's nutshell facination. Apparently he applied the same chimes to his "fantastic" sounding DIY power amp which he claimed he built from scraps & trash. When times come, I might even volunteer to be his
free marketing agent to sell his Tibetan chimes (assumbly patented)
to audiophile audio makers worldwide so that "fantastic" sounding
hi-end equipment can be built at low low cost with dirt cheap Radio-Shack grade parts & sold to audio Joe Blows at low low prices. Using his chimes, he must be kicking butts, bigtime!!!!!Yes, you are correct. DIY deep freeze., like my humble -30C freezer
experience, is NOT, repeat NOT, comparable to industrial cryogenics.
But it works for me, bigtime, provided of course, it is implemented PROPERLY like what I did. You said the sonic upgrading by similar home-brewn deep-freezes will not be so lasting, & need 'recharging'
from time to time. I am not sure of that. 'Cause I am positive I have yet to detect any sound degrading back to the pre-deep-freeze era from my treated stuff.Let me put one of the sonic improvements on my rig in perspective.
One of my sonic test programmes is taken from my favourite 25-year-young stereo LP - a male vocal soloist accompanied by an acoutical guitarist. The male vocal comes out from the dead centre of the soundstage about 10-feet away, & the guitarist just stand right
in front of me about 3 feet to my left. I can detect clearly &
repeatedly everytime without fail, the twanging noises of the guitarist's fingers touching the strings, from three times before deep-freeze, to nine times after deep-freeze.It reveals more inner details of the music textures, to say the least.
"Open mind & open ears" - fully concurred. What one can't hear from its own rig doen't mean it is not there anywhere else.
Good deep-freeze listening
