Is this a con ?!?

[cooljimy84]

was looking throught e*ay and found this ?!!?

Audiocom International in conjunction with Frozen Solid Audio provide a Deep Cryogenic Treatment (DCT) service for audio & visual products.

The DCT process can be applied to all types of audio & visual equipment from CD players to AV amplifiers.

The DCT treatment is applied to individual circuit boards such as input power PCB, main power PCB, Audio PCB, video PCB, etc.


What Does DCT Do?

Deep Cryogenic Treatment or DCT for short is a process that involves the cooling of metals and other materials to very low temperatures, typically around -190°C. When metals such as Copper or Silver are drawn they develop a distorted ‘grain’ structure which leads to tiny voids, disruptions and discontinuities in the conductor as the metal is compressed and contorted by the drawing process.

The DCT processing leads to the development of a more refined crystal structure of the metals, drastically reducing voids disruptions and discontinuities in the conductor. The result is a metal with reduced skin effect, lower resistance; improved electron flow. For further information please visit;

I think it's a total rip but was interseted in what other people thought ?

bad person! id delete that link straight away

 

[Delvis]

Yeah I would remove the link straight away, its against forum rules to do that

 

[deuse]

Yep and read the FAQ

 

[cooljimy84]

oooops

 

[cooljimy84]

ok can i do that then ?

 

[Yrkoon]

i smell a lot of BS

 

[cooljimy84]

So do i

But they offer the fact that if it breaks that they will replace it for you !!

I mean short of nicking it and your money i can't really see it being a con, but then there is a lot of oo: there ....

Voodoo with metal instead of dolls.

The weakest part of any circuit board is the solder joints. Solder is an alloy of Lead and Tin. I really don't see what a Silver & Copper treatment is going to achieve. Any silver on the board is located on the pads, which are already covered in solder and the only copper is on the tracking which is covered with solder resist. Complete waste of money imo.

I have just been trying to find out about it and everytime I find something it doesn't relate to this, just in a logical fashion it cannot work.

 

[cooljimy84]

Yer i think it's just an e-mail scam... u pay 120 and send ** expensive equipment off to them, they then nick ** money and ** stuff !!!

 

[SpaghettiOs]

Well, it could be a scam in that you would probably never know if they have actually done anything.

You can get solder with a high silver content, and I dont think the theory is incorrect when applied to metals (altering the temperature during processing metals is not a new technique), but put in this context I dont believe it for one second. You cant perform a process after something has been manufactured to tolerance without expecting adverse affects, not to mention on a PCB with ICs.

That's what I was thinking, metal does react to the cooling process in manufacture and I know heating it up changes it but cooling down????
