I've learned that several high end audio manufacturers are using cryogenic treatment (you do *not* want to expose the items directly to liquid nitrogen), and then some. A reliable source mentions liquid helium for even more extreme low temperatures as well as heat cycling (high temperatures) as being done, with impressive results.
Carefully done, freezing tubes, capacitors, and so on is perfectly safe and reliable. Plastic and paint on items can be touchy. I told a friend not to freeze his Marantz 9's, as he wouldn't want to risk the paint on the faceplates.
