Hmmmm. I see. Sounds like New Age marketspeak to me.

Might I suggest reading an elementary book on statistical
mechanics so that you understand exactly which physical forces
come into play near "room temperature" here on earth - that is around
300 Kelvin.

And what is this "residual stress" on the "atomic bonds?" Is it the
minimum of the potential energy barrier function? That is generally
orders of magnitude above kT. Further, what are the "natural
structures" of the molecules? Do you mean entire thermal orbit
of a molecule include all of the allowed translational, rotational
and vibrational energy levels allowed??

Generally, I prefer an alternative treatment to freezing things.
Go down to Chinatown and look for the tiny porcelain Buddha
statues that they sell in the shops. The ones that are, oh, about
an inch high are perfect. Now, arrange several dozen of the
Buddha statues on the amp chassis. Insert sticks of incense into
the loose space between the sockets and pins of each tube, you might
need, oh about 30 sticks of incense. Light the incense and
sprinkle Ghee on the entire amplifier while playing any recording
of Tibetan Buddhist chant through the amplifier into an 8 ohm
dummy load only (if you do with with your speakers plugged in it
will excite Negative Karmic Resonances).

Be very careful not to upset the Buddha figurines. They can lash out
in fits of rage.

Further, you need to abstain from sex for at least a week to insure
full component breakin. Leave the several dozen Buddha figurines
in place. This is guaranteed to work, and it sounds much much
better than 1942 date Vitamin Q caps from North Adams Massachusetts
or single black plate 5692 with Pentagram getters!
