objects vary in size, density and shape, therefore "freeze" and thaw at different rates; thus the "timetable" for each type object will be different; i.e. the ramp-down time, dwell time and ramp-up time. The optimum "timetable" for an item must presumably be obtained via trial and error...I wouldn't be surprised if these timetables are kept close to vest by cryo labs...
Cryo Treatment
Just wondering does anybody know whats envolved in cryo treated powercords and outlets. Do they just do the wire before the sheilding and xlr or single ended is connected? I know something happens to the single wire when liquid N2 is applied brought down to around -270f. Im just asking because I have access to N2 (work for a welding supply) am thinking of takeing a pair of audioquest viper (spare pair) and dipping them in a dewer of N2 just to see if there is any improvement. Doing this carefully at -270 things get very brittle just a thought what do you think? David
