Cryogenic treatment of an LP?

Is this even possible? I am just thinking outloud here and wondering of the benefits and welcome your comments. I'm unsure if an lp could even survive the process normally targeted at metal components. (Warp factor 10 captain). Ultra freezing and then slowly re-heating a chunk of plastic. Still, one wonders exactly what impact molecular alignment would have (if any).

Through the employment of ultra-low temperatures, 300 Below, Inc. cryogenic processing helps improve all kinds of products by realigning the molecular structure of an object, optimally resulting in items which last significantly longer and perform far better than they were previously designed.

"I have trouble with the concept of a single process that improves all known materials."

And yet you still call yourself an audiophile.

Perhaps if you understood that the process was developed & confirmed for all things audio by the combined efforts of both Santa Claus & the Easter Bunny then you would have the good sense not to question it.

I have been playing with croyogenically treating cables for few years. All it does is pack the molecules closer together. I have a HDMI and USB cable speed tester. HDMI and USB cables always test much faster with a Cryo treatment than opposed to non treated cables. I have noticed anywhere from 12 to 20 % faster. I have tested a cable before and then after and those are generally results.

Uh, noone said it improves all known materials. But it's very well documented that it improves, steel, brass, silver, gold, aluminum, copper and plastics like vinyl, polycarbonate and telfon, you know, things of that nature.

This is becoming one of the more humorous threads in a long time. :-)

Twelve to twenty percent faster than the speed of light. That is amazing! NASA should have treated the Space Shuttle.
