I think the cryo is worth the extra cost. You can cut costs by sending the tubes off to a cryo lab like Cryo Pro.
Help me decide on cryo option.
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to replace the sixteen EL34s in my cj mono-blocks. Even though there seems to be a consensus that output tubes make relatively little contribution to the sound of an amp, at least when compared to the small tubes, I would still like to get this right. I'm pretty well set on the Sventlana Winged C's but here's the thing: The source I'm intending to use offers a regular quad for $92.80 and a cryoed quad for $164.80. With sixteen tubes, I don't consider the price difference chump change. I realize this all comes down to value judgments that no one can really make for me, but I sure would appreciate any opinions and experiences. Thanks in advance.
