Thought I'd share an interesting piece I read from VH Audio website - http://www.vhaudio.com/cryo.html (http://www.vhaudio.com/cryo.html)
Cryogenic Treatment
In our experience, the degree of difference vs non-cryoed parts is not the "earth shattering" or "night/day" difference that some companies' sales literature might suggest, but rather an incremental improvement more akin to an upgraded connector, cable or other "tweak". Also, in our experience, not all materials benefit from cryogenic treatment to the same degree. Brass seems to benefit more from cryogenic treatment than pure copper, and high purity silver may actually be DEGRADED by cryogenic treatment, based on our listening tests. Plated materials are also a mixed bag, with the resultant sound improvement varying by type of base metal, the plating material, AND the plating process used.
What's your experience with cryo treatment of various hifi bits?
