Anybody have their original Stealth Cryoed?


I have the original Audio Magic Stealth. Love it. Now they have the Cryoed version. $100 for the upgrade. Anyone? Difference worth the $100? Also, different thread really, but what's the deal with "Cryoed?" Thanks in advance. warren

The burn in is the big deal. My Audio Magic Stealth required some very serious burn-in time. We're talking 400 hours minimum. That's with a space heater hooked up to this baby, running 20 hours a day. You need some high current/amperage to break the Stealth in properly. It was definitely worth it. I'm just not sure I want to go through that whole deal again. Audio Magic charges only $100 for the upgrade. Of course, they tell me it offers quite a change, and I believe them, but I would love to hear from someone who actually, hands on, had it done. I'll check out that website you posted. Thanks again, warren
That's just great. If you don't detect a sigh of annoyance, trust me, it's there. Audio Magic should give a $100 rebate to pay for the electricity I'll have to use. I'm not hard pressed to do this. I'm really quite happy, now, with my system, so I might, and that's a big might, be able to shelve the idea for a while. Thanks for the scoop.
Warrenh, try to locate someone who is willing to hook the unit up to an Audiodharma cable cooker for you. This should ease your pain. If you want more info about the Audiodharma cable cooker go to www.audioexcellanceaz.com

I will be experimenting with one myself for the first time this weekend. I can tell you that my first experience with cryo treating something in the power chain has been very positive so far!
Yes, yes, and yes. I "retrofitted" my Stealth and mini-digital Stealth by double-cryogenically treating them (at Cryogenics International). Huge performance jump, and most highly recommended.

As far as using the Cable Cooker (which I manufacture), conditioning the Stealth for at least 4 days, preferably 5 days (followed by a little bit of system time) does "the trick", and avoids the 30-40 day break-in hell.
