The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered


I found this to be very interesting to learn that electrons move like water. Also even more interesting to learn Cryo really is on the cutting edge and it's implications for the future are just being learned. Fascinating stuff

Did you read the comments @glennewdick ? ... Funny, but predictable.

I read most and I was not referring to the article that I did not read fully. I was referring to someone talking about cyro treating vacuum tubes. I was adding some references for that statement.

Not the same as electrons flowing at cryogenic temps.

Please be more specific as i do not get your sarcasm.

barts,

Never get vacuum tubes cryogenically treated, its a scam and not healthy for the tube life.

People do not understand that a tube has multiple parts of different materials that expand and contract at different rates. This causes stresses in the tube when you try to freeze it at cryo levels. One of the biggest failure points is the tube pins where they pass through the glass envelope. Another is the plates where they join to other types of metals. 

It is not safe to cryo vacuum tubes ever and your just adding to failure points if you do.
