Well Bart: I never got into the difference between home freezer temp and cryo (LN2) temp. I was just impressed that a guy would have the pluck to try such a silly thing and then tell everybody here what he found. A novel concept which has resulted in flames and humilation for little or no good reason. So since he was trying I figured I would give him the chance to go most all the way (nitrogen only helium is just too costly). That seems fair to me then he will know what he will know.
Probably 8-9 tenths of my disk collection have been treated in LN2 so you can take from that what you will. Back when I was still working with Ed at Highwood audio (Meitner) we ran a slew of Stereophile disks for the boys and they were freaked out when they heard them. Treat a set of guitar strings for a player who knows his tone and ask him what he hears. Users will tell you they sound better stretch better and last longer than do the same strings non treated. I cryo every cable I make. I also like to sand my disks wash my disks and wax them and then treat them with a magic solution that fets them as smooth and shiny as they can be. Then there is damping. Oh oh this is getting stupid gotta go now.
