Why does this abracadabra almost exclusively show up in
the playback-chain. That is, at the consumers end.
While even the finest recordings you are playing have
passed through a multiple of apparatus / circuits /
interlinks ( that they call cables ) connectors /
ordinary op-amps and electrolytic capacitors.
None of them treated.
How, do you think, can a cryo cotton cable bring the
reproduced sound closer to the original ?
Start listening to music !

Who has changed from Audiophile to Melomane long ago.
Your statement presupposes two things that aren't
necessarily true.
One thing is that the exact chain of
technologies that produced the sound need to be present
to replay it.
That's never true, because record chains and playback chains are inherently
different. Record chains include microphones, mic preamps, mixers, etc.
None of which need or generally ever apply to playback. This is a falsism,
the opposite of a truism.
More significantly, the OP never said that the exact chain for recording has
to be used for playback. He said something different - and that as a rule,
none of the floobydust that some ignorant audiophiles affect, is usually
present in professional recording systems. While mic preamps need never show
up in a playback system, the equipment in both recording and playback
systems will have a lot of basic component parts in common, such as regular
commercial grade resistors and capacitors. Professional recording systems
are typically solid state from microphone through the mixing console to the
digital recorder. If you find a tube in a professional recording system, it
is probably in some legacy microphone. But, more than likely, tubes are
nowhere to be found.
The second is that "closer to the
original" is the ultimate objective. If you're truly a
"melomane," then you'd get that in a second.
Tha fallacy here is that music needs to be mechanically changed in order to
be loved.
I've never said that cryogenically-treated cables are
more accurate. If I had, then your comments may apply.
Don't take credit for that, Marc. You've repeatedly shown yourself incapable
of understanding the concept of sonic accuracy. You never said what the
cryogenically-treated cables do technically, because you are incapable of
coherent technical thoughts. To you, there's no difference between drill
bits and headphone wires.
