What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio

I read that moisture in the air does make a system sound better and laughed at the time. Now I think there may be something to it as I do seem to hear an improvement while listening on humid or rainy days. Go figure.

High humidity seems to improve the way my system sounds. That has always been a back burner theory of mine, it's good to hear that others have noticed this.

Perhaps in the future we may see some audio humidifiers for beaucoup buckeroos.

High humidity makes the system sound dry and brittle. If your source is a CDP then you probably don't mind since that's how they sound anyway. I have to run a humidifier in my room during the winter, or the system is almost unlistenable!

My main source is vinyl, so this is a big issue. The cartridge and the LP need some humidity in the air to keep from building up and releasing static electricity. The difference is not subtle in my room... in the summer I have to run a dehumidifier though... so whatever the answer is, it's somewhere in the middle...

Nrchy exactly what CDP did you use for the dry brittle sound? I have yet to hear one.

I have never heard on that didn't sound dry and brittle... your ears must be soo much better than mine!
