probably the easiest is to do an internet search with google and put
"cryogenic tempering" or "cryogenic treatement" in the box.... look for a business that has its' act together and is located near you. No sense in shipping your things across the country and back if there is a facility within a half day of where you are located.Cryo comes in two forms. One is the freeze only, used for copper, plastics, circuit boards, things of that nature. Steels and tool metals are heated to around 350 degrees in an oven and then chilled to about 300 below. You don't want that. So make SURE to clearly label your stuff as FREEZE ONLY.
I have done a massive amount of experimentation with the cryogenic effect over the last 3-4 years, involving every imaginable material, including fabrics, leathers, compact disks, metals, plastics, small signal tubes, Quantum Resonance (QRS) boxes, Bybee cermaics, interconnects, cables, ac cords, saran wrap, aluminum, steels, knives, foods, silicones, electric motors, razor blades (I shave with the cryo Gillette TrakII blade, doesn't last longer but shaves better, the metal seems more true), halogen bulbs, receptacles, and heaven knowes what else.
Cryo appears to dramatically shorten the break in process. This may be because there is a boundary region between the dialectric and the conductor that has become more orderly as a result of the cryogenic modification, and responds to the electrical field better. Generally speaking, both in compact disks and in conductive media, the sound is more coherent and neutral. Many of the variations in CD manufacture are "relaxed" out of the plastic, so there is less coloration, as if the CD media had gone from 14-15 bit resolution to 16 bit resolution. I guess something of this nature happens with metals and dialectrics too. Wire sounds quicker, less smeared. Be realistic though, you wont turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, but you may make a good pigskin jacket out of it. BTW, I am told by people within the cryo business that a number of the premium cable products on the market are made from less impressive raw materials that are cryoed, but don't expect them to let you in on this trick of the trade.
Pricing isn't too bad. Depending on quantity, seems to range between 5-10 dollars a pound, but that's only a ballpark number.
