Ever take an ice plunge...

after a sauna? I thought some of my best parts would fall off!

Cryogenic treatment is a process that is different for every material. Some materials 'like' a thermal shock... stellites and the like. Most do not.

Audio components, especially semiconductors, need special attention. The pre-chilling process is especially important as well as the inintial (above cryo) draw down. Near cryo (-320) transitions from vapor to immersion must be done with care if the product is to be useable afterwards. The controlled warm-up is also a very important step.

For treating audio cables, one of the things that is overlooked is what additional treatment can be done to the wire during the cryo stage.

More cannon fodder.
