To cryo or not to cryo

Hi All,

I searched the threads and couldn't find any dedicated to explaining and/or evaluating the benefits of having electronic gear cryogenically treated. I'm considering buying a BPT Pure Power Center, and the company strongly recommends I have the whole thing treated.

Is it worth it? What kind of benefits? Audible difference?

Thanks,
the rustler

I'm not sure what the best temps are. From reading in forums guys say there deep freeze to fridge works effective for them. I have not done an a/b of it but may have to. It works for cd's according to many. Not sure, but I think maybe that article that came out by that guy in stereophile years ago about the benefits of cd's cryod. I believe the freezer may have been what was used.

Maybe all the product needs is a deep freeze and slowly warmed up??

Freemand: Did that article, or other forums, state was actually being altered during the process? How can deep-freezing affect what a laser reads on the CD surface, and in a "positive" way, if at all?

Program about the science of "ultra" cold coming up soon on PBS. Probably something to learn about the subject for all of us.
