Cryogenics: accomplish what and work how?


Cryogenics: what is it supposed to accomplish and how does it work?

I’ve heard about this numerous times and I don’t know how it is supposed to work. Is a cable or tube frozen? To what temperature? Are they heated first? What is the procedure? What is the purpose? What physical change brought about by the cryogenic treatment and how does that effect the sound?

The points made in the Jena Labs document is exactly why Purist Audio has a contract with NASA to treat it's products. NASA has mainframe computer controlled immersion tanks that are more precise than what is typically available for commercial use.

Much of what is sent into space is cryo treated to improve stability and reduce the effect of stress. When the tanks are not being used for NASA projects they are available to Jim. This is the reason that his product is sometime easy to get and sometime back ordered severely.
