What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio


I have often wondered how the climate inside the listening room affects the overall performance of audio playback. I have found on many occasions that my system sounds best on a hot and humid summer night. I supppose that the density of the air acts as some sort of acoustic filter in certain conditions. What are your thoughts?

Nrchy, Be warned. I just saw a bunch of guys down the street from you putting on some white sheets, heating up tar, cutting up some feather pillows, and chopping down a telephone pole. If I were you I'd not answer my door after dark! THEY'RE COMING TO GET YA!!!!!:-)
It varies by component. Several catridge makers will actually include a recommended range. Metal dome tweeter sound off when the temperature sinks to low. Paper cone/rubber cone drivers can be sensitive to humidity. But looking at it from the equipment's POV is probably backwards. Temperature and humidity will effect the listener far more directly and I would suggest it's best to set them with that in mind. If you're not physically comfortable, then how are you going to enjoy music?
Nrchy, I have read on AA what a jerk you are. I now know what he was talking about. You truly are a jerk.
Vegasrear, you can read all you want on AA, I'm not an alcoholic, and I don't post on any other audio websites other than audiogon, so how would anyone there know what a jerk I am???

If you are ever in Wisconsin, I would be happy to step out from behind my keyboard and discuss this like men, or do you just call people names from "the safety of being out of range?"

My CDP is better than yours, and it still doesn't sound as good as my TT, but you're probably not able to make that assessment in your system since your TT isn't very good either...
