Humidity And Sound

[bluegrassphile]

Do you notice changes in the sound of your system as the humidity changes? How does it seem to affect your system? I live where it's very dry in the winter and very humid in the summer. I try to keep the house humidity at 35% or above in the winter, especially since it has an effect on the tone of my acoustic guitars. Obviously, humidity extremes can not only affect tone but can damage acoustic instruments. But I'm just curious how humidity changes can affect the sound of audio systems.

I live in the SE with similar dry winter/humid summer. But during more temperate weather I like to open the windows for fresh air. I hesitate to let indoor air get too clammy for fear of damage to expensive electronics and wire, but I can't say I've noticed a marked difference in SQ whether the indoor humidity is in the 40s or 50s.
