CryoTone™ Processing of Decware Equipment
Wathen Audiophile is now offering to CryoTone™ Process only for Decware Equipment
For our friends and owners of Decware products
As an expansion of our appreciation and friendship with Decware, we've decided to offer the proprietary processing we've developed to improve the sound characteristics of Decware Amplifiers, Preamplifiers and signal processing equipment. Steve Deckert, the owner of Decware, has designed and produced some spectacular sounding equipment.
Just as Steve focused his genius over the years to produce excellent audio equipment, Don Thomas was developing ground breaking material processing processes and procedures. These processes were developed to improve the performance of many of the materials that play a major roll in sound quality. We at Wathen audiophile have always known that choosing the best available components is critical to achieving high quality sound reproduction. We've also known that improving the conductive properties of those components will have a profound impact on that sound quality even more. If improving one component like a preamp tube, capacitor or output transformer makes a noticeable improvement, imagine the resulting effects of preforming those improvements to the complete circuit. Just as we've developed incredible proprietary processes for Wathen audiophile equipment like our amplifiers, preamps, DACs, tubes, speakers, tube microphones and even musical instruments like electric guitars, violins, cymbals, trumpets, trombones and more. We've applied that valuable knowledge to create procedures that take into consideration all of the components that make up each Decware product.
Notice:
This service is not intended to be any kind of repair of electrical issues.
Wathen audiophile is not responsible for any issues due to failed components before or after processing. This process utilizes extreme (Cold) thermal temperatures that improves conductive materials but can also expose compromised components like a capacitor that is close to failure or has issues.
What is Cryogenics?
Cryogenics is the study of how to get to low temperatures and of how materials behave when they get there. The field of cryogenics advanced during World War II when scientists found that metals frozen to low temperatures showed more resistance to wear. Many of the early discoveries were more fully explored by NASA engineers who were trying to understand what would happen to metals when subjected to the extreme temperatures of space.
What does it do?
Cryogenic treatment modifies the molecular 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 changes caused by Wathen’s extreme cryogenic process produces tubes that compete or surpass even the most sought-after antique tubes.
Why do I care?
Stock audio components contain internal stresses that degrade sonic performance. Not only is the raw stock subject to residual stresses from fabrication, but additional steps in the manufacturing process produce added stress lines. Wathen CryoTone™ tubes are a must for the critical listener and musicians that want more life and character from their gear.
How is Wathen CryoTone™ different?
Wathen utilizes a cryogenic treatment process that is specifically designed to maximize
all aspects of the sonic performance in audio tubes. Developed in conjunction with the actual OEM providers, the Wathen CryoTone™proprietary formula of select tube parameters and what many would say is extreme cryogenic treatment is the result of extensive experimentation and testing. With our goal to produce the best sounding audio equipment with true innovation, it was only natural that we would take a long hard look at the wonderful audio tube. The transistor has never matched the sweet organic sound of the tube. We’ve just put considerable distance between the two.
