There seems to be pretty good evidence that cryo treating tubes change their sound. I've heard tubes that were improved and some that were absolutely made worse.
Cryo treating new production tubes is not much risk money wise, but I would be hesitant to treat rare, expensive NOS tubes such as Telefunken or Siemens 9 pin design.
Good that Thorman got positive results.
If anyone has cryo treated NOS Euro tubes (like Tele's), I would love to know the results. If possible, discuss the equipment that benefited and test conditions. In my opinion, the best possible world would begin with a matched quad, thoroughly listening to each pair before and after cryo treatment.
