Over the years I am constantly battling dust build up. Although I dust with feather duster, there are places that you cannot get to unless you disconnect equipment and or move equipment ( in my case very difficult to do). I'm pretty sure that the dust build-up is a major problem with equipment. It gets into the cases, on the drivers, on the connections.. pretty much everywhere. What do most of you do about this? My LP collection suffers same fate and it's in a cabinet.. Not a sealed cabinet however. Yes the Lp's are in sealed covers( mostly) but dust builds up on covers etc. Any suggestions?
What about inside components? In the case of large solid-state amplifiers, the top of the component is usually a grille. I'm sure a fair share of dust has gotten in there.
Like Tfkaudio said what about inside components? I've looked inside my pre-amp and the amount of dust build up was amazing. I blew most of it out but? I don't live in a particualrly dusty climate and the I clean the room regularly. But, the build up is consistant and I wonder what the effect of dust on components/sound is?
I completely disassemble my system at least twice per year to thoroughly dust, clean, and clean the cable connections and terminals. The chrome tube amps get dusted and their chrome polished once a month or so. I also dust the rest of the system at that time. And I'm NOT even a neat FREAK! I thought we were all anal about our 9/10 AGS ratings? No?
