Marc,
Do
I want tubes with cryo treatment?

Depending
on the person you talk to, cryogenic treatment of tubes (and other audio products,
including cables) is either necessary, intriguing but unproven, or of no sonic value. For
tubes, I would be leery, unless the maker of your equipment actively promotes it, in which
case I would buy the tubes from that company. If you're not sure what the company's stance
is on cryogenic treatment of tubes, ask. You can also experiment with a purchase, in which
case I would suggest starting with inexpensive preamp or amplifier input tubes and not
more expensive matched output tubes. -Marc Mickelson
