Has anyone cryo'd a tonearm,or phono cartridge?

Just curious Cryogenics International says they can cryro
both items.Is this safe? Has anyone on the Audiogon ever cryo"d a cartridge or tonearm with positive results? or am I just asking for trouble? I have a Morch UP-4 Arm with internal silver wire,and a Grado Prestidge Silver Phono Cartridge.So I don't have a large sum of money invested in cartridge,but do with the arm.Should I go for it or not?
I will have my ic's and power cords cryo'd,but should I go the extra mile with the front end of my system deep frosted?

I just received my ZYX Airy 3 Silver SB yesterday. Some of the internals are cryo'd prior to assembly. Give me a month and I'll comment again if this thread is still showing up on My Page. You may write me later privately if you remember and are still curious.

The ZYX UNIverse is one of the absolute best cartridges I've heard and it is done the same way. It's higher up the food chain than my Airy 3 though.
