My Stan Warren DVD Player Arrived Yahoo


Just wanted to let you guys know the Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player I sent to Stan Warren in early December came today. It was ESP also. I have never bothered him before, but I was curious how his back log was doing, so I decided to call him from my office. He was not in. Amazingly, when I got home it was on my porch waiting for me. I then called just to leave a thank you on his ansering machine and he was in. We talked for over an hour (glad for 5 cents/minute). FYI, he is out of his favorite CAPs, and has 5 machines waiting for the order to come in. Don't know what else he is working on. I'll try to post back later here or a new one and let you know how it sounds once it breaks in. He told me 100 hours will get it to 90% and a month to get the last 10%.

Stan had a tip. He told me to freeze (I don't know spelling "Cyrogenically"??) all my cables/interconnects. Get a foam cooler that will fit in the freezer and some dry ice. First put the cables in the fridge to cool; then in the dry ice in the freezer to get them down to -100 degrees. After freezing move them back to the fridge to partially thaw; then back to room temp. and then back on the system. He said I would notice the possitive difference.
Ed Meitner was a proponent of cryogenically freezing wires, he told me about it 15 years ago. I never really bothered to get around to it, which annoyed Ed. He accused me of being an "audiophile" rather than a "tweak". In hindsight, Ed was right. Think I'll get some dry ice and give it a try, certainly a cheap tweak that can't hurt
This idea has been around a long time and comes up from time to time on these threads. Mostly regarding freezing Cds, but also cables. Two words of caution, don't freeze anything with a glue or chemical bond joint......and personally I would not apply any tweak to my cables or Cds
which cannot be removed/reversed. What if the sound changes
and you don't like it, you are screwed. This is my opinion
but if you feel like going through the hassle to try it good luck. I would try a sample run first!
