Wathen CryoTone Tube Conditioner
with Gold Plated RCA connections
The Wathen CryoTone™ Tube Conditioner (CTC) is an analog tube output stage conditioner. It drastically improves the sound of virtually everything. Music, especially digital music, consistently sounds better after it has passed through tubes. It is phenomenal when it has passed through Wathen CryoTone™ Tubes. It is that simple.
While using the “New” CryoTone Tube Conditioner couldn’t be easier, the new model has a pair of quality VU Meters that monitor the input content so you can be sure the gain staging stays correct. By keeping the volume voltage in the normal range, you will insure the CryoTone Conditioner operates as designed, very linear. Many manufacturers try to use tubes to create color through distortion, the CryoTone Conditioner is intended to stay linear while improving sound quality.
The key is versatility. The CTC can be put in various positions and/or combinations:
· After a DAC
· After CD player
· After a blue tooth receiver
· After a personal audio player
· In the tape loop
· After a preamp
Any of these along with combinations of these positions would have the effect of tubing everything before it goes to the power amp.
The CryoTone™ Tube conditioned sound:
· Does not add distortion or alter frequency response
· The dynamics are vastly improved
· There is a 3 dimensional sound stage
· Unmatched sound quality of the CryoTone™ Tubes
· Great Signal/Noise ratio
· Frequency response is flat
· The conditioner adds richness
· Adds body and detail to midrange and bass
As with all Wathen products the CTC is handcrafted from solid wood. The CTC has two sets of gold plated RCA jacks, Left/Right input and Left/Right output. It includes two Wathen CryoTone™ ECC88-WC tubes.
