Cryogenically treated cables

There are more and more cable manufactures treating there cables now. Some offer this service for a fair price.
I was thinking of getting all my IC, Speaker and PC treated along with the Power condintioner.
Can anyone give me a before and after sonic description of the cryogenically process.

Cryogenically treating anything improves its performance.

Oh, just a whole CD player I had cryo’d.
Did it have a thermal tag to indicate lowest temperature?
Time @ ?°K
Is it really better in some measurable way or just now has more cachet?

Anyone with an LCR bridge can measure cable parameters, enter them in a calculator along with the electronics I/O / speaker parameters and calculate the values.

If manufacturers were more honest, they would include LCR values in their 'specs' instead of fuzzy headed audiophile nonsense.

In the end, emotion is the only key to success in audio.
Amen.

Only a tiny fraction of systems emote. Sadly, far too many rumble, rattle, fart, bloat, tizz and screech preventing any connection with the music.
