Cooling those CDs will make the zeros and ones on a CD more orderly. This reminds me of a vinyl elist telling me about the zeros being the missing sound quality on a CD.

His comment was pretty stupid but the 44 kHz limit of CDs means that vinyl can technically be better (kind of like how old-school film is almost always higher resolution than digital tape).

I'm actually convinced audiophiles do have some sort of mental illness, and I don't mean to be a prick about it. I'm a bit of a videophile and there's times I rip my hair out trying to set my TVs up perfectly; I can't imagine what it's like to be that way with audio because of how much harder it is to discern between the pieces of equipment/green marker tricks. It's gotta be 100% placebo; I'm sure of it. I remember I had a stereo system and I was adjusting the "tuning" knob while listening to a CD, 100% convinced it sounded best 3/4ths of the way turned. Except the tuning dial was for the radio stations and had nothing to do with sound.
