Dr. Photon	Re: Make that fender sound warm I know next to nothing about cryogenics and metal work, other than LN2 is FUN stuff. I would be pretty sure that this is pretty worthless. I would seriously doubt that freezing the tubes would improve the sound of them (why do none of these tweaks ever make something sound crappier or "colder" hehe). Actually, I would worry a little bit about extra thermal stresses brought upon the tube (especially if the tube is frozen too fast), but I have no clue if these are justified worries or not. Persoanlly,i'll just stick to snatching up cheap-o used amps, and harvesting the perfectly good old tubes from them. RCAs, GE, and Mullard, hurah!
