Does cold dry weather affect your SQ

Since the temperature has plunged into the twenties here, I’ve noticed the sound of my system thinning out with less body than usual. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm surprised this question gets asked as much as it does. Not saying that it doesn't need to be, just that this is an obvious SQ discussion that makes a difference for every listener on the planet.

So, with the cold temps come lowered humidity. You might want to get a small humidifier and see if that helps. I have cast iron baseboard heating, which is pretty dry too. I haven't noticed much difference in sound quality. Bob

I think a key to consistently good sound is treating the air in the room. Make sense?
