I would think it best not to expose your CD's to the faux Cryo
treatment as I believe it's been well established that the thin layer of aluminum mitten der little binary information under the polycarbonate are prone to degradation over time, it's called CD
rot, and I'm virtually certain that by freezing and then thawing them
you will be hastening their eventual demise to one degree or another
I'd imagine all of our CD's used in cars in the northern hemisphere
get "Cryoed" inadvertantly.
I learned in my statistics and probabilities course in college
that hominids are exceedingly prone to perceptual alteration by simple suggestion, in a series of interesting double blind tests
our Professor set up.
Over the past 3 years I've become re-involved with analog/Vinyl
and tube electronics and have learned that with small changes in arm damping VTA,VTF, correct azimuth and various DIY Isolation strategies
and tube rolling I can achiieve a great deal of "Real" sonic improvement and it's a superb diversion from my often rather Kafkaesque tawdry existance, I find digital anti climatic as hell
plop the shiny corpodisc in the drawer and hit play, "Where's the Beef ?" ;-)
Analog seems to satisfy those entirely human needs to be involved
on a personal basis, where I'd imagine a great deal of the
cray audiophile BS/Delusion and snake oil comes from in the first place.
Are you old enough to remember Enid Lumley ? Is it better to use East west or North/South electrical outlets ? ;-)
Which electrons are more condicive to better sound those generated hydroelectrically, from burning Coal or Nuc ? etc. Veritable insanity

Kind Regards FredJ
