In my house of stereo, I use a whisper quiet in wall AC/heat unit. Since the construction is ultra insulated, all I usually ever use it is on the dry setting. I can't hear it even with music off. Meaning I enjoy comfort and ultimate sound no matter what the outside temp is. And I'm around Austin, Texas, no relief from heat yet, 103. It did cost a lot to build the house of stereo though. Like the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Those magical days when the HVAC is off
I'm reminded these last few days when after 90 days straight with the AC running, the weather broke and the temps dropped, and with no AC running (or likewise in winter when no heat is cranking) my rig sounds easily 20% better - like I had added a new component- more clarity, overtones/timbre, sparkle - the standard sonic improvement adjectives - so how does one accomplish this year 'round? Which power related component is the one that allows your audio rig to operate unimpeded by air conditioning, the furnace, an overloaded electrical grid? I have separate dedicated lines to my components, but my rig really flows in a magical way when these climate conditioning appliances are not running. Is it power conditioning, or power regeneration that could possibly allow me to enjoy this increased audio performance more frequently or permanently? Any personal experiences of successfully solving this dilemma would be welcomed. Cheers, and thank you in advance.
