Lapierre, Excellent suggestion. From everything I have read the best all around humidity is 45-50%. 35% is too low and 55% can be too high for certain instruments like a piano. 45% is a good number to shoot for. Its good for you, your house, any musical instruments you might have and your stereo equipment. I have a humidity meter in my listening room and it is usually between 45 and 50%, but I live in a dry climate.
tubes and moisture
I run almost all tube based gear. I live in a very moist,damp basement apartment on coastal northern California. I already use a dehumidifier every other day and cover my gear with towels after every listening session overnight and during the day while at work. Is this enough protection and what is the worst scenario here in terms of gear damage?
