Has anybody Cryo'd their complete amp-results?


Just wondering as I have the opportunity to cryo my tube amp completely, if any one has done it before and what was the resulting changes in audio quality. Also is it safe to do.
Thanks for the guidance, especially if it is risky.

FYI--electrolytic caps, some film caps and MOV's do not like to be cryo'd. Also, the plastic fascias and such can crack even if all the screws are loosened due to the expansion/contraction properties of different materials in close proximity.

Sometimes components are okay, sometimes not. It's a crapshoot, 7 come 11, baby!

I personally shy away from cryoing complete components and strongly discourage my customers from doing them. However, some people are adventurous and are willing to forgo the risks. If you like to bet longshots...

Have a great weekend, all!
