Speaking of price, CoolTech works with hi-fi retailers, and there the treatment of an LF, power or speaker cable two meters long with a diameter between 15 and 50 millimeters costs 90 euros, that of a cartridge 70 euros, that of a tube from 100 to 200 millimeters high 49 euros and that of an SSD for installation 88 euros. If you take into account the transport, the manual loading of the chamber and the duration of the process, one is tempted to speak of quite reasonable rates.

Once back in the listening room, we booted up the system, waited about two hours, and then "soft played" the rubbers on the pickup, which had not been used for weeks, with one side of a record. With "You Gotta Move" from Hans Theessink's album Live at Jazzland, my spouse and I were sure from the first listen that we had not heard voice and vocals so detailed, intense and rhythmically gripping within our four walls before. However, we could not be sure if this is due to the treatment of the disc or Audio Exclusive's R7 preamp and the Børresen 05, which have never been involved in the playback of the song before. After enjoying "You Gotta Move" a second time, we placed the non-cryogenically treated disc on the LaGrange's platter. What the Lyra Etna in the Thiele TT01 now pulled out of the groove seemed a bit dull. Not only was a bit of shine missing, but also tiny bits of information like fingering noise or the slight resonance of a string that had previously made the playback so lively. Hans Theessink also seemed to have shifted down a gear in terms of groove. At least over a very high resolution chain, the difference between the cryogenically treated and the freshly pressed LP is clear. I certainly haven't been to CoolTech for the last time and the next time I visit I'm guaranteed to have more than six LPs in my luggage!
