Just wondering what would a French horn , or any brass instrument sound like if it went thru a cryo chamber

Just thinking out loud.

More resolution

Would that include more air?

And space between the instruments emanating from a black background with mondo depth and layering. Many veils are lifted and a clear window into the performance. all this of course with reduced grunge and lack of high frequency hash. Overall at least a 30% improvement- I guess that means the stock French horn could only play 70% of the original notes- hell it was practically broke and dysfunction instrument before the cryo process- next I am going to try the teleportation tweek and see if I cant get another 30% improvement so I can claim the stock French horn + cryo only played 70% of the notes it should- or maybe just say its 160% of a stock French Horn.

How about cry'od cymbals... they must sound great...such decay

But in all honesty I do wonder what a french horn would sound like cryo'd.
I might try it..I'll think more about it tommorrow. I have a neighbor who teaches the french horn. maybe she has an extra we could play with.?

Ask Dan (burlaptocashmer). I've done two of his $$$$ trumpets. You can read all about the genesis of the project here:

Since the thread is very long, here is a link to the page where Dan reports on the results:

In any event, he loved the results. I'll send him a link to this thread so he can respond.

Peace,

Lee

Lee. Can I send you a French Horn to be cryo'd?

Just for fun

see if the woman who plays it can hear a difference?

Sure, give me some time to arrange a load where I have room in the chamber. The next couple of loads are going to be filled to the brim with my (and some other manufacturers that I do cryo for) wire and cables. Shoot me an e-mail to sales@cryo-freeze.com, so I can file it and contact you when I have a load that will have room.

Peace,

Lee

Hey Everybody,

Just heard about this thread and thought I would drop in. If you read any of the links that Lee has enclosed above you can read a more in depth review of the work he did on my horns. I was very impressed with the process and would recommend Lee's services without question. For me the DCT process took two new custom horns and gave the sound an aged sweetness that was very,very impressive. I could not be happier with the results. Remember, with any new process there are critics but most, if not all that I have read, have never tried the treatment and their comments hold zero credibility.

I wonder what a cryoed French horn player would sound like. Or a cryoed audiophile. Hell, its said to improve everything else, why stop at outlets and instruments?

Dr Prat....tell me it isn't so. Did you actually suggest that Marie be cryo'd?

I sure hope audiophiles don't start getting cryoed, they've got enough air as it is.

It is a breath of fresh air tho to have a musician speak up about the benefits of cryogenics. Thanks for your insights Lee.

Cheers,

I am a hands-off sort of moderator, but I really don't see where the technical aspect of this thread is.

Man, I don't have an opinion one way or the other about freezing things (except my flesh in the winter) but wouldn't it be easier just to freeze the microphone and the storage media?

Actually, I've met her a number of times (I used to live in Utah and she and her then husband did quite a bit of business with the company I worked for) and she always was very nice and gracious. So, no, let's not cryo her.

It is heading in a direction that merits it being moved.

Robin,

The cause of global warming, audiophiles?

Dan's the professional musician, I am just a guitar hack.

I know cryo is a hot topic, and I'm not here to argue with people, I don't need the stress or headache, I have enough in my personal life at this time. I use AC as a place to escape for a few minutes at a time, so I will not engage the wolves.

I am a skeptic by nature. I hear a difference with cryo. If one doesn't, more power to them.

Marie is Dr Prat's (Topround) sweet wife. Sometimes I have the urge to raid his house, kidnap his wife and protect her forever from his audiophilic insanity.
Mike, you know that I jest 'cause I love you.
