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.

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"

Lines from songs? O.K. I will close with this!

Some people's hot
Some people's cold
Some people's not very
Swift to behold
Some people do it
Some see right through it
Some wear pyjamas
If only they knew it

The pyjama people are boring me to pieces
They make me feel like I am wasting my time
They all got flannel up 'n down 'em
A little trap-door back aroun' 'em
An' some cozy little footies on their mind

Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Lawd, they make you sleepy
With the things they might say
Po-jama people!
Po-jama people, people!
Mother, Mary 'n Jozuf, wish they'd all go away!

An excerpt from the song titled,"Po-Jama People" From the late 'n great Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, "One Size Fits All"

Maxgain, turns his back and leaves,humming and laughing, while making a rude gesture.

There's a man who leads a life of danger.
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes,
Another chance he takes.
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man.
Secret Agent Man.
They've given you a number.
And taken away your name.

Beware of pretty faces that you find.
A pretty face may hide an evil mind.
Ooh be careful what you say.
Or you give yourself away.
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man.
Secret Agent Man.
They've given you a number.

Swinging on the Riviera one day
Layin' in a Bombay alley the next.
Oh don't let the wrong word slip.
While kissin persuasive lips.
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.
