Air kills cartridges?


Do vintage cartridges deteriorate in performance by virtue of being exposed to air? I have heard that the only way to preserve their performance is to pack them in some chemical solution. Any comment would be appreciated.

I know this started out as a question about a cartridge but it appears that we may have found some more parameters for the "ideal" listening room: an airtight environment filled with an inert gas (such as nitrogen), perhaps cooled to absolute zero. Any contact with the outside "real" world would be the cryogenically-treated electrical outlets and a phone line for that all-important teleportation tweak. Good grief.
