Okay, I know we are just kidding about the liquid nitrogen treatment, but I
have a couple questions. If one were to chill typical analog audio
circuitry with liquid nitrogen, would it continue to actually function at
such low temperatures?

I assume that residual noise levels would be noticeably reduced, (assuming
the circuit still functions), but what other effects might there be? Does
anyone actually know?

I suppose it might be one (expensive) way to attack the problem of drifting
synth oscillators.   :)
