No offense, Awe-d-o-file, and I usually don't go here, but if you heard improvements of your cryo'ed objects immediately upon return, I have to believe that any such improvements had to be mind over matter.

Since 2004, I've had maybe 75 100 different objects including IC's, SC's, fuses, outlets, inlets, plugs, wires, PC's, Using both the more popular vapor method and more recently the far less popular but superior full-immersion method and nearly all were good to excellent results.

But I've never had a single cryo experience where the object was better than before immediately upon return and install.

To the contrary, because the metals altered become "as new" again, the object's performance will be compromised and sound worse than before at least until the object has fully burned in once again.

Unless perhaps your cryo vendor isn't actually cryo'ing the objects at all, but maybe doing something funky like putting the objects on a cable cooker or something else.

Simple objects like plugs, connectors, outlets, fuses, etc, take roughly 2 1/2 days of constant use to fully burn in. Cables usually take 5 to 12 days (seems to depend on length and complexity) at most but 5 or 6 days is the more common burn-in period.

If you've received real performance gains immediately upon install I'm suspicious. If you don't receive any other gains in the next week or 2, then I'd have to guess the objects were never cryo'ed in the first place.

Try the razor. If you're a bloody mess, then we know something odd is going on with your cryo vendor. :)
