A few years ago I had a pair of cary audio cad 1610se amps, the main tubes being KR 1610’s. I had a problem that the main tubes were dying after a couple of hundred hours. I got in contact with KR and they suggested proving a paid that had been cryp treated. I had no further issues. (Sold the amps a few years later so can’t comment on if they’re still going but they had maybe 500 hrs at sale.
This e-mail has been cryogenically treated
I’d like to announce that, for no additional charge, all of my e-mails will be cryogenically treated. You can’t prove otherwise.
Seriously though, when a manufacturer claims their product has been cryogenically treated how would we even know? At least with seafood we can run DNA analysis, and often we find out we are being ripped off.
How would we know this about cables, plugs, power connectors, etc? Has anyone ever even seen this being done? That’s actually a serious question. I have never actually seen this happening.
How would we even know if, for instance, they treated a batch in 1995 and no longer do?
