Cryogenically treated cables

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.

If cryo treatment always improve the sound why don’t ALL high end manufacturers cryo their cables by default? Treating cables in bulk, cryo treatment would probably only add $10-20 per cable. There would be plenty of profit left with their $500-1000+ wire. Why are they selling uber-expensive cables that are not the best they can make and could be improved for $20?

Most of them do cryo their cables. Shhhh, don’t tell anybody. The rest must not have gotten the memo. Who knows?
