Freezing CDs?

You are "not even wrong".

If zanash claimed he has a pet unicorn, imported from Peru, I think some of you freezer enthusiasts would give him the benefit of the doubt, regardless of the impossibility of the claim. Then we could have aggressive "have you visited him to check it's not there? Well then, you're an idiot!" responses.

Freeze-thawing CDs is a waste of electricity.

 

OK, if it reads the same (say very large) file before and after in roughly the same time, would you then say that it's made no difference?

 

So say you...!!! Fortunately, there are a lot of people on and off this forum who simply don't agree with you.​

 

Well yes I guess if there was substantial time different between the two you could logically be starting to ask questions.

True enough.

Fair point.

 

Yes it can and yes there is.​

 

Especially on a forum, yes.

Very true

Communication ....in all walks of life.....so difficult...

Me too.

If I don't know, I ask.

Yes forums are tricky places for getting a point over....some one said that 75% of what is written on interent forums is misunderstood.

I can well believe it.

I woiuld think if you've been in the industry for 27 years you have a lot of useful knowledge to inpart.

 

Which is what a Nespa Pro does

Brilliant piece of kit! See - CD sound can be altered/improved.

Amazed to see this one still running though - prodded to look in by a fellow ZGainer

 

it may be.. that a change in the CD's structure after freezing is difficult to pinpoint, for some that a change would occur in the process isn't even a possibility, though the 'Fact' remains that a substantial number of individuals *do hear a difference*, the finding of clarity and definition being the change of commonest call.
That a few detractors seek to extinguish the results of those that discovered change is in my opinion... pointless, if one has tried the freeze and heard nothing, i would respect the result/findings and wouldn't waste my time trying to convince them otherwise, if they haven't tried yet consistently attempt to force their position on others, they are wasting their's and others time due to their own inability to commit themselves to the possibility in the first.

 

I really really really don't take issue with people having fun with the whole ritual of freezing the CDs, hearing an improvement and enjoying their collections more for it.

 

i really really really think that's the only way to see it.

"More fun and enjoyment to you too seeker" :MILD:

 

That can't be right! 75% of misunderstandings are due to internet fora?

 

Care to supply provable evidence of such workings?

 

Not sure what your saying there?
Do you mean the computer has no error correction?

I didn't know I was such an authority?

Tell me then, what a domestic freezer actually changes, have you got any graphs, measurements or magnified pictures showing any sort of physical changes within the disc structure which improve the readability of the pits in such a manner it creates an audible improvement which can be measured?

I myself have not yet seen any evidence come forth, nor heard any difference as remarked upon. Nor been given any reasonable opinion as to why any change would indeed occur.

 

have you tried freezing a cd then?

 

Penance I really couldn't tell you.

Cars.....I may know some thing about them (after 27 years)

Computers.....I just drive them.

 

There's no evidence. A bunch of slightly strange people saying they might be able to hear something inexplicable is literally hearsay.

 

YOu're OK David, your PC definitely has error correction. If it didn't, it would never play anything

 

thats not quite what I said!
