Cryogenic treatment affects all materials, even plastic, non ferrous metals, ceramics, polycarbonate, paper, wood, etc. for example golf balls will travel further after cryo. Razor blades will last longer. There's more to cryo than meets the eye for audio applications, however. A lot more, it's not all about the relatively obvious physics. Perhaps another day we can delve into it.
