Fallacy

What in the world does a razor blade or gun barrel have to do with audio equipment? The latter is very complicated by comparison, with various dissimilar materials involved with different coefficients of thermal expansion, solder joints, and so on. Cryo'ing a connector or a CD is one thing -- and there's a good chance you won't like it -- but cryo'ing an entire component is quite another. All kinds of problems can creep in, including microscopic fractures, and at the very low temperatures involved with liquid nitrogen used in cryogenic treatment, the effects are not reversible. -20 F is not a cryogenic treatment temperature, contrary to assertions elsewhere in this thread.

Be careful, especially if you don't have a backup and can't replace whatever you're considering cryo'ing.
