""The (sonic) performance of plastics appears quite improved by cryo treatment, even simple freezing, and many metals - copper, silver, steel, aluminum, gold, brass, as well as glass and whatever metals are used in electron tubes, there may be some things going on with these audio apps not documented; hard to pinpoint the mechanism/cause, not hard at all to "prove" the effect... ""Plastics..don't know, have only destroyed them, or have seen no effect (not looking for any). My experience is primarily concerned with survival of the dielectric withstanding capability.
Key point.. "may be some things going on". For structural apps, where the properties cold/warm were needed, much testing was done. Unfortunately, electrical properties of metals through cold treatment has received less attention.
But, definitely hard to pinpoint the mechanism, and also hard to prove the effect (by prove, I mean measured using equipment). Alas, a flaw in our current abilities to measure.
