Re: Deep Cryogenic Treatment.

Several years back Mikey sent Paul Joppa two sets of MQ B7 5K line output transformers with permalloy cores. One had been cryo'd the other was stock. Paul built a line stage with a switch that allowed changing from one to the other on the fly. I'm not sure of a concensus, but I could pretty clearly claim that I liked the sound of the cryo'd trans better.

As for a source for getting it done, I see a local outfit, One Cryo, as the first hit on an Alta Vista search. I have checked out their site before, looking into cryo treatment for gun barrels. They seem pretty reasonable and able to accomodate a pretty broad range of part sizes.

Also, Jennifer Crock of Jena Labs is now cryo treating her wire on a custom order basis, and she might be willing to treat other components for folks. We have just received a sample of the wire for evaluation.
