fwiw there was a guy, maybe a grad student or something--basically someone who I took to be in the position and have the technical knowledge to do this sort of experimenting--who did do some experimenting who posted about his experiments and findings on one of the plexi palace boards some time ago, and IIRC the gist of his findings was that this was bogus. (I suppose I should've saved that thread but apparently it isn't on my hard drive. The thread may still be there or might have been eliminated when they changed servers.)
I'd like to know if any of the cost no object tubes (such as the "Red Bank" tubes) or any of the "serious" big expensive tubes (transmitting, etc.) did this when the technology was avail. Maybe that (answer) would say something as to whether there is any point to cryo tubes.
also, how could you even tell if some tube you bought was processed? Kind of an open easy con if someone wanted to.
perhaps, though (even if it turns out pointless with tubes) there is some other useful musical instrument-related application to strengthen metal parts or something. Deal with metal fatigue or whatever.
