Freezer Cryoed Cables...
Tireguy, the process you described re austentite/martensite applies only to steel, e.g., steel tools, so not really relevant to this discussion. 
Freezer Cryoed Cables...

The best test CD ?
XLO Test CD has the most comprehensive system tests for my money, especially Track no 3 (speaker set up track). 
BEST S- VIDEO CABLE ???
The frozen Marigo S-Video is excellent as well... 
Lead shot questions
you noticed that too, huh? 
Copper ic's with silver spkr. cable?
Whatever sounds best is the only thing that counts in the end, although this means there are an awful lot of combinations to try. There is no reason why you can't mix and match cables/ICs IMO

Her first record on Bethlehem label is on CD, but not sure about availability these days; recorded in small cafe in late 50s, this CD is simply unbelievable.

The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
I may have misinterpreted your analogy a bit, I seem to recall tasting ice brewed beer once and thinking it tasted "watery" but then I'm not a conoisseur. It seems like almost everything in this hobby is debatable, even more mundane items like amp... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Zaikesman - The problem with the ice-brewed beer analogy is that the ice brewed beer was heavily promoted in the industry; this is not the case (no pun) for cryoing audio gear. I'm pretty sure cryogenic treatment of cables, records, CDs etc. will ...
