Re: Cryogenic Treatment or Dry Ice?

I think Stan Warren is a genius but I do not agree with him about the dry ice. Cryogenically treating metal makes a difference on how the molecules align themselves, which benefits the metal in more then a few ways. The alignment of the molecules does not wear off, dry ice will temporarily align things(so will putting them in your freezer) but the effect does not last. All of the cables in my system are cryo'd, I have built new crossovers and am going to get my coils cryo'd.

A few examples of evidence that cryo. treating is the real deal. Super high end performance car parts are cryo treated, brake rotor's etc, and they do not have problems with warping. Internal components, including valves, pistons, valve springs, rocker arms, push rods, cams are cryo treated and do seem to hold up much better(shrinkage is caluculated in when they are milled).

For deep sea sonar used by the armed services of the USA they use electronics designed to work while submerged in liquid nitrogen to give a lower noise floor, etc... Would they have invested the millions and millions if this was a snake oil treatment? It was done because it will save lives and give us an edge when everything matters.

With how high resolution audio systems are becoming it is possible to hear these subtle differences. For more on cryogenic treatment and why it works and why dry ice does not read the link below.
