Thanks, good post. My outlets were done and I sent all IC/PC. I DIY'd 14G foil inductor flat wire for my speakers but it is bi-wire and would be a real pain to uninstall, pack then reinstall. I do have some binding posts I intend to install so that's the winner I forgot about!
I'm w/you on full immersion too.

In my limited experience, if you don't cryo the speaker cables and ic's together (meaning only one pair is cryo'ed but not the other), then the sonic benefits of the cryo'ed are greatly restricted because of the uncryo'ed pair acting as a bottleneck.
That's my limited experience but I did confirm this with the cryo experts and they concurred.
I know there would be a nice advantage but it would really be a pain and add lots of time and cost. It would require a separate box. Trying to "coil it up" to box it would be really a pain.

Bummer. Cryo'ing the IC's and not cryo'ing the speaker cables was in my experience quite a significant performance inhibitor.
Have you considered purchasing a set of inexpensive speaker cables and jumpers already cryo'ed?
Take 5 in Canada appears to use the full-immersion process and offers such speaker cables that won't break the bank.
The IC's I I use today are an inexpensive set of BPT silver's that sat in my closet for 8 years because even though they were good, they just weren't quite as musical as my other IC's that cost 3 times more.
But after having all my cables cryo'ed via full immersion (including 4 pair of IC's) 18 months ago, when all was said and done, these inexpensive silver IC's remain my most musical now.
If you did so, you should experience the full brunt of what properly cryo'ed IC's and SC's can do, and while that's going on you could have your bi-wires cryo'ed, or sell them if they don't sound as good, or later sell the Take 5 speaker cables, etc.
Anyway, just wanted to share a few options.
