In Reply to: Human comfort is probably the more important factor. posted by TAFKA Steve on June 1, 2000 at 12:04:55:
I first found out about the advantages of a ultra-sonic humidifier from George Cardas at 1992 Winter CES, where my turntable and amplifier stands were on display in his room. This was the famous Avalon, Cardas, First Sound, and Tube Research Labs room. (Tube Research showed their huge 800 watt tube amps for the second time at a consumer electronic show. I still have people at CES that come up to me to discuss that room). I thought that the humidifiers were added to attack the low humidity/static problem that you encounter with dry climates with a low percentage of humidity.(Like Vegas) George hadn't mentioned anything to us about it improving sound. And the plants, well they freshen the air, are attractive, and add a homey type feel to the room.
At any rate, yes the ultrasonic humidifiers put hash/garbage on the line voltage. We just turned them off during show hours. Leave it on while away. Easy enough.
As to the gentleman stating that "electronics don't like moisture", tell that to someone in Hong Kong! I spoke to Paul from Tube Research Labs a few days back and asked him if the moisture in certain areas of the orient have reeked havok on his products there, and he assured me that it wasn't a factor. He did mention that it is tough on the aluminum anodizing though.
What is the proper humidity percentage for optimum sound? I have no idea. Is there indeed a difference?
