The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test

Some have wondered about the Cryo'd outlet test that this skeptic has agreed to do, thanks to the generous loan of an outlet by another member. The situation is that the outlet, and its non-cryo'd twin have been breaking in for several weeks and I think we can agree they are ready for evaluation. Performing the tests will involve littering the room with various amps and speakers with the associated wires strung around, so, and I am sure you understand, I need to wait for a free day when my dear wife is elsewhere occupied.
A report will be made.

I would like to try cryo treatment on Audiopoints and Sistrum platforms. Devices that are reactive within a known environment, unlike an AC outlet, a device dangling within a know environment but being much controlled from a variable outside environmemnt. Perhaps the points and the Sistrum would be even more reactive to vibration like the trumpet that has gone thru cryo treatment. Tom

Stehno: No 'disgrace' at all in taking on the risk of an experiment like this in public (would Maxgain?). And I wonder, philosophically speaking if you'd ultimately feel you really gained more at the end of the day, had you happened to choose the correct outlet instead?...

TheAudioTweak, I've toyed with the idea of cryo-treating my rack (just the rods and nuts) but I'm not sure where I would go to have such a thing done. I would think that cryo-treating a steel-framed rack would/could provide additional benefits.

Thanks for the encouragement, Zaikesman. And good question.

I think I'll sign off from this thread with a few apropos lines lifted from a Blondie chestnut:

"No I don't believe in luck
No I don't believe in circumstance no more
Accidents never happen
In a perfect world
Precognition in my ears
Complications disappear"
