What is the optimal temperature/humidity for audio

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...

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

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...

Sorry biker dude, I wrote my 12-4 post backwards. Low humidity, or very dry air makes a system sound dry and brittle... my mistake!!!

What do you ride? I have two of my bikes pictured in 'my system.'
