In Reply to: RE: What ever happened to cryo treated tubes? posted by airtime on April 03, 2014 at 06:39:01
My take on cryo treated tubes amounts to a big yawn. If there had been a truly objective improvement the tube manufacturers would have embraced the technique as a value added proposition in order to enhance their bottom line. They haven't. In the factories where this technique could have been employed on a large scale, nada. It is still a boutique item.
Still remembering a "Blessing of Cassette Decks" being held in Southern California... I have no idea where THAT thought came from!

That's my reaction as well. Though my experience is limited, I've bought some cryo-treated NOS 12AU7 & AX7 tubes. Though they sounded good, I quite easily found a number of different non-cryo variants of both types (even non-NOS equipment pulls) that I liked much better.
I seem to remember those popping up once?
