Heh, i'm glad this thread caught thru. Given that there are so many "audiophile" parts (especially tubes it seems) that claim better sound because they were cryogenically treated, i'm not surprised if there is a grain of truth to the whole story.
My old player had annoying background noise especially when watching clips, and it disappeared after i froze it. The key to it is to let it thaw slowly as explained.
Now, since i have again some players to screw around with (a dozen to be precise, but right now only one works and another one is about to be recovered, not sure about the other ones), i'll do some objective testing. I'll record a quiet song from all the players i manage to recover, before and after freezing. Then you can judge whether the improvement is there or not.
