Cryogenic Treatment
its rocket science!
Audio technology is Rocket Science!… those who have had an affair with it they will know this is not an exaggeration.
At InsigniaHiFi we everyday stretch ourselves to move towards the perfection and this service indeed is an offshoot of our passion for High Quality & High Fidelity and our pursuit towards perfection!
Cryogenic Treatment is a process which can dramatically increase the consistency, quality of performance & wear life of almost anything. This results in mainly by re-alignment of the molecular structure of metallic and fibrous materials & relieves inherent stresses within. Metals such as steel, cast iron, tool steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, brass, spring steel, carbide, and others all benefit from Cryogenic treatment.
The beauty of this technology is that, it is so gentle that even a computer will survive if underwent this process.
What is it all about?
What does it do?
Cryogenic treatment modifies the atomic structure in critical electronic components by reducing or eliminating voids and imperfections in the material. The process relieves stresses and normalizes (or stabilizes) welded and soldered areas. The resulting consistency dramatically improves the life and relatedness of the performance whether it is just a connector or cable or a vacuum tube.
What is the Cryogenic Process involved?
The Cryogenic process for audio equipment are specifically designed in house using state-of-art equipment & process to maximize all aspects of the sonic performance in audio tubes & accessories. The process involves a very slow cooling till about -200 degree Celsius and kept constant for at least 24 hrs, known as soaking stage. After this it is gradually bought back to Room Temperature.
What are the benefits?
- Dramatic reduction in noise floor
- Expansion of dynamic range
- Smoother and more refined high frequency range
- Increased bass depth and imaging
- Deeper and more focused three dimensional soundstage
- Reduced micro phonics
- Extended life
How long does the process take?
The process takes about 3 days to perform. Typically our turnaround time is 1 week taking logistics in account.
is this a typical HiFi Hype or is an actual Science?
The benefits of cryogenic process are definitely real. Metallurgy and materials science explains it well. The only reason of skepticism and the debate is that there is no real visual change taking place to the item.
The Cryogenic Society of America (https://cryogenictreatmentdatabase.org/) has shared the Cryogenic Treatment Database, which is a leading resource for research and information in the field of cryogenic treatment — the use of extremely cold temperatures to improve the properties of materials. This is an excellent resource to clear the fog of doubt related to the subject. Beside this numerous deep research by NASA on cryogenics further strengthens the robustness of the technology.
