Cryogenically treated cables

The quote above is nonsense. But especially this bit

Cryogenic treatment is typically -300° Fahrenheit, and, in a way, is the reciprocal of high heat (flame forging). Either technique could help a knife, but would you subject a piece of plastic or polymer to a flame? Cryo is no better.

Right. To subject a piece of plastic to cryo is no better than to subject it to high heat flame forging. A dazzling display of logic, as Spock might have said. Or the Red Queen.

No one in their right mind would subject a piece of plastic to cryo!

Oh wait, what’s this?

Oh, its just a stack of CDs I had cryo’d.

Oh wait, what’s this???

Oh, just a whole CD player I had cryo’d.

So....

Right. The quote above is nonsense. Cryo is not like flame forging. In fact it is the furthest thing from it. Might not be the silliest post ever, but will give a lot a run for their money.

Cryo is another one of those things that have been around and known to work for a very long time now, and yet still it goes on on an the people who haven't yet learned. My first cryo was brake rotors on my 911. They modulate better at threshold, respond more consistency at temp, and last a lot longer compared to identical factory non-cry rotors.

Which is interesting because when I went looking for someone local to try cryo with my stereo the closest one turned out to be a shifter kart racer who me being a PCA track Instructor we hit it off and he told me all about his business.

Cryo is nothing more than a chest freezer into which goes everything from tubes to cables to crankshafts, custom hunting knives and French Horns. The expense is all in cooling mass to near absolute zero, something that happens only slowly over a period of days immersed in liquid nitrogen. Then after a few days the nitrogen is allowed to boil off and the whole thing comes back to room temp.

This is the reality of cryo. Anyone touting anything even slightly different than this is either lying or clueless because, get this, physics is physics. Its only at the extreme low temp of cryo that the molecular changes happen, and there just ain't nothing more to it than that. 

The cost therefore, the entire cost, is liquid nitrogen, and the few minutes it takes to pack the freezer. Which ain't much. My whole system, every bit of wire, including the AC circuit wire, whole CD player, dozens of CDs and some more stuff I'm forgetting, was all done for less than $200 all-in. Nice improvement, well worth it. What some charge now though, inflated with nonsensical fairy dust new-age mumbo jumbo, is nuts. 

Cryo should cost no more than $1 to at the most $3 per pound. Anything more than that, save your money, buy an Orange Quantum Fuse, be way ahead of the game.
