Audio is merely the compression of air in a finite field.More humidity means more dense air. Heavier air too, so you turn up the volume which does good things all around for your system. If a recording is taped at 86 db then it will sound best played back at 86 db.
When we design multiple mach aircraft, missles, and rockets, our computers model air almost identically to water. Air has mass. Like thin water I suppose.... Get it?
So cold, dense air should always sound better than hot humid air, or warm humid air. That is why I like to run multiple humidifiers in a room with air conditioning to keep the temperature low. I find 68 degrees and 50-60% relative humidity is a great sounding air field.
I may just be a tank of hot air too....
You never know for sure, but I am describing what has worked best in my 43 years of audiophile pursuits.
Cheers from a hot air balloon gone wild....
