Cryo companies generally charge by the pound. There is a national chain called "300 Below" that mostly does industrial stuff. There are a couple of places that cater to the audio market (assuming they are still in business). I have heard that it is bad to cryo electrolytic capacitors. Everything else is pretty much fair game. I have heard of people sending complete tube amps through (presumably less the electrolytic caps) but that would be quite expensive given the weight of the transformers. Never heard of anyone doing headphones. Detachable cables would be no problem, but I don't know about the rest of the 'phones -- headband, earpads, et cetera. You could always start with a cheap set as an experiment. Have fun!

I have asked about Cryoing stuff. Best to do cables and wires. Some have done whole amps - Elizabeth 00:22:47 05/20/12 (0)
