This e-mail has been cryogenically treated

Lots of things break while cryo treating.

I've never been a fan of cryo.  If you want nothing to change, cool it to cryo temps.  Physics has never provided a basis for it working on anything.  I've also been in several other hobbies where it is touted as a cure all.  Never seen a difference.

that said, I occasionally buy cryo treated stuff if there is no upcharge and it is otherwise a good product, such as ice age cables, a good quality low cost cable.

@erik_squires labs can test what material, how it was cast, and then treated and provide a report. Can’t remember who, but someone did this with the SKW cables on Amazon, supposedly OCC, turns out that they were not.

but most people on this forum don’t believe in measurements, so there is that. 

@fredrik222   It must be true.  It was on the internet.

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. 

@carlsbad2 you for one do not believe in measurements, that has been established many times over. But not interested in getting into another pointless back and forth about facts vs imagined things.
