My gear is covered in dust!
Where does all that dust come from?
The door to the room I keep my system in is kept closed. I don't do anything that generates dust anywhere near it, but every day there's a fine layer of dust on the equipment. If I don't give things a regular wipe, it builds up really fast and looks a mess.
I know having a dog doesn't help, but I'm sure the dust problem never used to be this bad.

Ah, maybe I'm not so sure now, it's what I'd been told over the years....
I feel better now anyway

I admit my 'den' has a lot of stuff stored in it, like books and boxes of Hi-Fi parts and other bits. Maybe they contribute?

If it's not airtight, dust will get in - it'll take longer but it will still get in. I have all my CD's and LP's in units with doors and dust gets in around the edges. I don't have to dust them all the time though, just every 6 months or so. I dust my gear every 2 weeks as with having 2 cats there is more build-up than usual. Thing is, after 2-3 days there is already a small layer of build up but it would get very silly dusting 2-3 times a week!

I suspect the pooch may be largely responsible. He's quite big and fairly fluffy. Not that he sits there scratching all day like some, but I do find lots of piles of shed fur behind furniture and in corners, even a day or so after hoovering.

I'm Grant.
comes from everywhere and everything.and static makes your gear a great target. hoovering usually sucks a lot up but puts a fair bit back into the air and it falls on stereo again.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Dust spontaneously appears from the dimension odd socks and biro pens disappear to. I thought everyone knew that.
