    They're tubes that have been incubated at (very) low temperatures... maybe liquid nitrogen; maybe liquid helium (I dunno). From a metallurgical perspective, stuff can happen. From a hifi perspective; I am with dorokusai.
    all the best,

    Heat treated and cryogenically treated metals change their structure permanently. In other disciplines, it's pretty well accepted and used to it's advantage. I don't know why there are so many doubters that it would have some effects in tube emissions and life.

    WAAAAAAAAAAAA! That was funny!
    In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
