Sorry, but I am failing to see what long term benefit freezing one's tubes in a refigerator freezer can accomplish. Maybe I could fathom the possibility using careful cryogenic technique (maybe), but a refrigerator? You cannot develope a low enough temperature. Also don't they call tubes vacuum tubes? I mean heat is not supposed to transfer in a vacuum. I realize that it is not that hard a vacuum but what is really going on here? How much heat transfer can happen via the pins and the internal connections? I can just see the new and latest audio accessory on the horizon, the "Valve Flash Freezer" chills your favorite beverage, while making your valves sound better. (or was it just the beverage?) Sorry, but I'm more than just a little sceptical on this one. Now let me tell you about the Mpingo Discs.......
