It's a fact the cryo treatment does change the molecular arrangement but apparently the accoustic effect cannot be measured by know objective methods.

Personally, I do believe that the human ear can hear differences we don't yet know how to meassure. But unfortunately human hearing is unreliable, given to hearing differences that are not there, (not hearing those that are). Human hearing is also subject to being influenced by non-accoustic factors such as price, brand name, and (not-)invented-by-me.

DBT tests, properly conducted and subject to peer review, are objective but cannot provide the the negative thesis, that is, that the are no differences. Nevertheless they are indicative: ultimately, if supposed difference can't be heard in DBT, how important can they be? Your answer please! Some people say differences that aren't apparent in the short term, (as in a DBT), are significant in long term listening, but again, this isn't proven.
