Sometimes the instructions say "cook from frozen", the rest of the time you need to defrost first. But you should always check it is piping hot and let it rest for two minutes.So -- I was just reading through a (pretty darned inane, actually) thread Someplace Else about our friend at "GR Research" and ran across a bon mot about cooking cables vs. cryogenic treatment... and it gave me pause.
Do cryogenically-treated components burn in? If so -- what the heck does that mean?!?

Some of you may remember the Less Loss Blackbody V2 which was created to neutralize cosmic radiation in your listening environment, well, can you believe that the "engineers" at Less Loss have now created a tweak for a tweak. I give you dear readers, the "Less Loss Blackground"!

Sadly, my weak intellect is unable to describe the workings of this cutting edge device so I will leave that to LessLoss’ CEO Louis Motek.
“BlackGround pairs real-time voltages in the sound system with the ground potential to in effect generate a continuous lower impedance path for the cosmic ionic particle influx to follow. Any electrical discharge always chooses the path of least resistance. That’s what BlackGround represents because it is always at the exact same voltage as the signal. Thus atmospheric noise is dealt with before it interferes with the music signal we want to protect. Because the path follows the signal voltages in real time, we could in fact say that to this cosmic noise the music signal itself becomes the conductor instead of succumbing to being modulated by it. Why more and more BlackGrounds are effective is that each additional unit further lowers this impedance path for less and less intermodulation with the signal.”
WOW!, once again, high-end HiFi technology is beyond the bleeding edge!
But wait, there's more!
These benefits can be multiplied by adding more of them in parallel!

Now I know at this point, the hair will be prickling on the back of your neck and you will be reaching for your credit card. And why wouldn't you? They're a mere US$446 each! but of course that's on top of US$1043 for the Black Body V2 which this tweak is intended to tweak, oh and US$12.80ea for the wires that connect them together. Worth it though when you get these kind of results...
"After several weeks spent with an army of BlackGrounds, the sensation was as if their contribution in my room was very much akin to the BlackBody v2’s general influence. The former also proved itself as a noise-killer type for sure, so a device groomed for backdrop blackness and all other well-known upshots; higher density, contrast ratio and smoothness. The twist came in the form of all the extra softness, reverb, spatial order and tone, particularly audible in the upper band. Other noise trimmers I’m aware of didn’t boost these traits as much as the BlackGround. The delta of these changes in my setup had me quite surprised, mainly because it already incorporates a number of passive measures meant to combat incoming noise and clean up all its junctures from any residual glare and spikes. That’s why prior to trying BlackGrounds I already viewed my existing platform as fully cured and pristine on that specific front. It wasn’t. There was still room for more."

Apparently there's no limit to how many of these you can connect together. I imagine at some point, they would open up a portal in space-time and transport you to Audiophile Valhalla! One thing to bear in mind though
"It’s fair to say that the BlackGround isn’t meant for skeptics who need measurements to know whether such accessories make any audible difference or not. If you’re in that group, I’m afraid that you’ve wasted your time. Meanwhile, adventurous listeners who rely on their cognitive skills and have all key bits of their setups sorted may want to give the BlackGround a shot. This is one of the most potent accessories in the LessLoss portfolio right now and particularly surprising when paired with BlackBody v2. Now that you know it exists, hopefully this review proved at least somewhat useful as yet another data point of what you might personally experience."

Usual "Ethernet is noisy" stuff. This used to be "extreme" but is now just the same old normal snake oil. Anywhere you need a switch, a cheap one will do and will cover exactly the same purpose, including reducing noise.

Wait a second ... You forgot to coat the walls and ceiling in copper, for your computer monitor or TV. Use silver if you are a real enthusiast and not just pretending.
Seems heating it to extreme temperature is part of the ritual that is performed to control the cosmic force.

Let me know when he makes a free energy generator (until then, I will skip).
These guys are just one step away from launching their own religion, scientology-like stuff.
I tried searching the thread, but it didn't come up with any results. Yeah, they do look suprisingly cheap for the typical audiophile nonsense tweaks. I'm surprised anyone buys these things. Or believes they actually do anything.
