Cryo tubes...Are they worth it??


I have been a fan of tube and hybrid equipment for some time. I've seen some of the cryoed NOS tubes advertised for as high as $500.00+ per pair. Are they really better than
the equivalent tubes for let's say $100.00-200.00 per pair stock??? Experience/oppinions???

I had a set of Mullards, very nice, but the did not have the longevity they should have had. Could have been a coincidence, just don't know for sure.
Not at that price! Hey, cryoed tubes do sound better. I had mine done by a guy who does it for many manufacturers and probably many of the people selling on audiogon. Go to www.cryogenicsinternational.com in Scottsdale and talk to Charles. If you want to try it, it won't cost you $500 for all of your tubes to be done. It is around $9/lb with a $75 minimum charge. How much do tubes weigh? Tell these guys selling for $500 to get real!
Hey Hifimaniac! You are da man!! That has to be the best tip I've heard in ages. It's info like that which makes me proud to be an AudioGon member. Hope I can return the favor at some point in the future.
