I've used cryo cables and found little difference. Keep in mind, it is difficult to compare the same cable cryo vs non-cryo. Either a manufacturer does cryo right, or not at all. So an apples to apples comparison is nearly impossible. That said, you should take my "little difference" with a grain of salt. However, I have tried the same tubes (NOS) cryo and non-cryo. There is a substantial difference here. Lower noise floor and I believe longer tube life (but really can't be sure). I can say I was impressed with the dramatical difference. Tubes are such sensitive devices that it does make logical and physical sense that cryo treating would have a beneficial effect.
Cryogenics: accomplish what and work how?
Cryogenics: what is it supposed to accomplish and how does it work?
I’ve heard about this numerous times and I don’t know how it is supposed to work. Is a cable or tube frozen? To what temperature? Are they heated first? What is the procedure? What is the purpose? What physical change brought about by the cryogenic treatment and how does that effect the sound?
