My search on "Deep Cryogenic Treatment"

While having so many unanswered queries/doubts in cryogenic cable after reading a post below, I searched and found a site (see the link) which gives some insight about the science of the Deep Cryogenic Treatment (DCT). From the attached pictures of the OFC samples of cable and ic, it seems the boundaries of the molecules or microstructures of the metal are narrower after the treatment. It definitely benefits the movement of signal IMO. The testimonials column of the site also reflected positive reviews from two hifi mags and from users on DCT. However, the first Q&A from the FAQ column of the site does point out that certain cables & materials are not suitable for DCT (unfortunately no details are given). The full Q&A are as follows:

Q. Is it true that any audio cable; interconnect, speaker cable, mains cable etc. be deep cryogenically treated (DCT)?

A. No, There are certain cables & materials that Frozen Solid Audio have deemed unsuitable for DCT. We are aware that there are certain companies that will tell you otherwise. Most of these companies are relatively new to the field and are desperate for your business. But once they have your money, will they still be around or be able to explain why your cables covering is starting to split, or why you exotic RCA/XLR connector is starting to break up? That is why Frozen Solid Audio will never treat an audio component that we know could or will fail prematurely.

Any thoughts especially from inmates who have compared the normal cables (pc, ic, speaker cable) with the cryo’ed ones?

Thanks.
