Cryogenically treated cables

There are more and more cable manufactures treating there cables now. Some offer this service for a fair price.
I was thinking of getting all my IC, Speaker and PC treated along with the Power condintioner.
Can anyone give me a before and after sonic description of the cryogenically process.

Hi Geoff

Did you ever setup a stereo in your home or are you still giving results based on your Sony Walkman?

The last several times you and I have been giving thoughts on the same threads you didn't have an in-room stereo. Let me know if you ever do.

Hi, Michael, I’m giving you the benefit of twenty years of cryo experience. I was one of the early pioneers. Are you giving me a little jab 🥊 for my Ultra low mass portable system? Isn’t that a conflict of interest? 😀 Is my system even lower mass than the Michael Green standard? Total SONY Walkman/ Sony headphone system mass 1.5 lbs. Jealous?

I didn’t know you were the jealous type. Live and learn. 🤗

Cryogenic materials treatment involves little shock. You don't dump it in liquid. It is a vapour exposure.


It is not going to have a "sound". Copper conductivity is barely impacted and even if you caused some damage to the dielectrics, it would make 0 difference at audio frequencies. I would bet more cable to cable variation than cable to cryoed same cable change.
