Best Garage or Workshop Design for Audio Gear

Unless that garage can maintain temperature and humidity conditions, I'd think again about such a plan.

I agree with Unsound. The garage has to be temp controlled. Then there is the issue of dust.

From my friends and family who have tons of electronics a lot of it ends up in the basement. The garage is where all the boxes go.

Is that what you are trying to achieve?

Best of luck.

My garage currently would cryogenically treat any components.

Jedinite, yes, that looks pretty nifty.

As I am in the midst of disassembling and reviewing several systems as seen in my WAF system link, I am reminded of how difficult it can be to crawl on the floor, behind racks etc with a flashlight to see connectors, not to mention clean or maintain components.

So again, the idea is that - in addition to a thoughtful, dedicated space for listening - a house (or garage) might also include thoughtful, dedicated space for storage, maintaining, repairing and testing components, cables, accessories, spares, media etc without cluttering up the main room.

After years of steadfast support, I am finally get a bit of a hard time for all of the wires associated with this hobby. (Actually, not from my wife, but from my mother in law!)

On reflection, custom lengths for all cables would solve much of the messy cable problem, so perhaps the dream workshop/garage would also include cable termination equipment.
