Cryoing of audio equipment


In general, is cryo-freezing of audio components worth the hassle and expense? I've heard varying opinions, and I'm sure I'll get a few more here, but I'm curious about the procedure. Any opinions and experiences welcome. Thanks!

DO NOT cryo any electronics. The plastic packages of ICs, transistors have different thermal expansion rates from the silicon and the metal leads and at these extreme conditions will crack the parts and damage them. Even the best military parts are rated for only -65 Deg C storage rating.
