Cryogenic Tubes - Time for a Change


Well it finally happened, one of my (four) EL34 tubes in my Willsenton R8 blew up last night. I knew it was coming. The bias meter had been telling me for about three weeks that this particular tube was loosing its mojo. Before you ask, yes I kept adjusting it's bias to match the others, it just wouldn't stay there for long.

Based on curiosity I just purchased (4) EL34 cryogenic tubes. They should be here by Friday.

I'm curious what folks (with actual direct experience, not your usual "everything new is snake oil" folks) think of cryogenic tubes in their systems?

 

The benefits listed are: 

Expanded dynamic range

Smoother and more refined high frequencies

Increased Bass depth, definition, and articulation

Deeper and more focused soundstage

Lower dynamic noise floor 

Reduced micro phonics

Smoother midrange 

Lower operating temperature and extended tube life 

 

Thanks for your feedback (pun intended) and Happy Listening .

Everything NASA sends into space is preconditioned with a cryogenic treatment probably in helium. Generates more space. Tom

Next , we will see ´´ Quantum entanglement ´´ tubes and ´´ superconductor ´´tubes .

Anyway , tell us your evaluation .

I'll let you know my impressions once they're in my system, hopefully this weekend. 

Whatever it is you guys do during the day, you should quit right now and take your act on the road. You're hilarious. 

I was really hoping to hear a few thoughtful "informed" impressions. Guess that's asking too much here.   

I really wish I could blind A/B comparison test these against my PSVANE (non-treated) tubes. Not having that option means you'll only get my impressions of the CryoTone valves.

never ventured never gained.
